Steve Jobs' spirit lives on — not only through your Macs and iPhones, but also via a time capsule.

The tube, which was buried by Jobs and several others at the Aspen International Design Conference in 1983, was filled with personal items including the Lisa mouse. That mouse is recognized as an important piece of history; Jobs used it at the conference where he predicted many innovations we use today. He envisioned the future of computers and the Internet, the creation of the App Store, wireless networking and other Apple technologies.

The conference organizers wanted to dig up the capsule in 2000, but couldn’t find it as a result of a landscaping project in the area. However, thanks to the National Geographic show Diggers, the organizers finally uncovered the relic.

While many items in the capsule appear possibly damaged, the Lisa mouse and other items were protected in plastic bags. Diggers co-host Tim Saylor was overwhelmed with the findings.

"When the end came off, literally things just poured out," he told CNET. "There must be literally thousands of things in there."

In addition to the mouse, the time capsule included a six-pack of Ballantine beer cans and a Rubik's cube — and of course a rather moldy smell.

You can watch the unveiling of the time capsule on Diggers on Feb. 25.
