In a tin box?

Interesting news about the disappearance of Amelia Earhart.  Some aerial pictures of the island where some think she landed and stayed until her death were found in a tin box in New Zealand.  So now they are presumably going to be processed with modern photographic and image processing techniques, to see if there are any signs of someone living there.  The photographs were taken about 15 months after Earhart's disappearance.

Really.  In a little tin box that everyone had forgotten about.  That boggles the mind.  As it says:

"Found by Matthew O'Sullivan, keeper of photographs at the New Zealand Air Force Museum in Christchurch, the images lay forgotten in an unlabeled tin box in the museum's archives.
The box contained five sheets of contact prints -- for a total of 45 photos, complete with negatives -- and a slip of paper with the words "Gardner Island."

Photos could prove Amelia Earhart lived as a castaway
