This is tricky, but you can't take the time capsule completely out of the hole. Lift it as high as it will go, then press the shiny clasp.
To get under the playground you have to use the crackers to bring the dog over to dig the hole. After this you will find the time capsule and Nate will take the credit.
At the end of Big Nate Island, when the Time Capsule is discovered, it seems to not want to come out of the ground. In fact, it never comes completely out of the hole. When you see the shiny "gold" or "brass" button, press it to open the Capsule.

You can't. You can only get the capsule out so far. Once it reaches it full length, you have to click on the button. The chest will open and you receive your medallion.
The thing stuck under the rock is the map to the location of the Time Capsule, which you will need before you start trying to dig it up. Slide the seals to the left side of the rock to take it out. (The Time Capsule is buried where the girls are standing in the Playground.)
you cant take the dog. the dog can only help you dig up the time capsule
You need the peanut butter crackers first. If you don't have them, then you should go to the playground and climb up to the kid's clubhouse and play the go to jail game with big nate. After that, you need to go down to where the girls were standing and get the dog to dig there by bribing it with the crackers. It might take a few tries, but you will eventually get the time capsule and open it.
Once you have the map from the seal island, and the peanut butter crackers from playing Hangman (Go To Jail) against Nate, you can use Spitsy the dog to dig up the Time capsule, which is right where the girls were standing, in the open section of the playground. Place the crackers on the ground, then click on the box when it comes into view. You can't take it all the way out : just click on the shiny clasp to open it.
Because of the way Big Nate Island is structured, you cannot take shortcuts (even if you know what information is needed). If you are uncertain of the proper order of the solution, see the related question.
its under the rock when you go and take the ski boat
The astronaut is feeling queasy. Get the bottle of ginger ale from the speaker's table where you entered the island, and take it to him in the capsule.
depends on how big your capsule is, if you have a small capsule, it should take about 3 hours, if you have a big capsule, it should take about 3 hours.
