It’s like looking for a needle in a haystack – an 8mm by 6mm silver capsule, no bigger than a coin, believed to be lost somewhere along a stretch of vast desert highway in Australia’s biggest state. Mining company Rio Tinto issued an apology on Monday saying it was supporting state government efforts to find the capsule, which contains Caesium-137, a highly radioactive substance used in mining equipment.
Rio Tinto said it regularly transports and stores dangerous good as part of its business and hires expert contractors to handle radioactive materials. The tiny capsule was part of a density gauge used at the Gudai-Darri mine site to measure the density of iron ore feed in the crushing circuit, it said in a statement. Radiation Services WA says radioactive substances are transported throughout Western Australia on a daily basis without any issues.

If it were a time capsule what note would you leave saying if it was going to brought up for till 250 or 500 years later

If people find it and open it, it will be very terrible.
