Archaeologists use Ground Penetrating Radar to find things buried beneath
the ground, walls, graves, fire pits, etc.  They might be able to help
you find a time capsul buried inside a corner stone.
Also, in the Department of Geosciences at my university, they are using
Refliction Seismology to find features in the ground.  They might be able
to help.
Reflection seismology is very similar to Ground Penetrating Radar, it is
recorded in a different time scale (different frequency)
Perhaps a geologist with this technology would be able to help.
