Another question for anyone that knows the answer.
Punchy asked me to bury his time capsule a while ago now, but he still hasn't asked me to dig it up and I haven't seen the dig spot where I planted it show up at all yet either. Can it just take a long time for a villager to ask, or are there things that can happen and cause the villager to never ask you to dig it up? It's probably just taking a long time, but it feels like he's never going to ask to dig it up.
Yeah, sometimes it takes a looong time for a villager to ask you to dig a capsule back up. Also, the will disappear until the day a villager asks you to dig it up. So if you see the dig spot where you buried the capsule, then that's the day the villager will want it dug up.
