A second time capsule was found on Monday hidden beneath the now-removed statue of Confederate general Robert E. Lee in Richmond, Virginia. 

"They found it! This is likely the time capsule everyone was looking for," Virginia Gov. Ralph Northam wrote on Twitter.

He added: "Conservators studying it—stay tuned for next steps! (Won't be opened today)."

Last week, a different time capsule was opened after it was found underneath the pedestal of the statue, which was removed back in September, NBC News previously reported. But that time capsule — which reportedly contained an almanac and a coin — didn't match historical descriptions of the box supposedly buried under the statue in 1887.

The statue was a lightning rod during debates about what to do with monuments honoring Confederate generals and figures.
