Hmm, is this a post from the past???? I just happened to notice the date of the
post is Sun, 06 Jul 2003 05:10:01 GMT. <VBG> Hi Zeppo, you might want to reset
the date on your PC. (although I am always accused of living in the past so it
doesn't bother me

Warm Regards,
Relic Hunter

Great idea. When you get it working, see if you can rig it up to take us
back a few centuries. That way, we can see exactly where those folks buried
their treasures, or lost them.

Which raises a moral question:

... Suppose we're back in (say) 1800, and we see some guy lose a silver
dollar out of his pocket. What do we do? Pick it up and hand it to him,
saying, "sir, here you are, you dropped this?" Or, do we say something
like "sir, we're from the year 2006 by way of a time machine, and 206 years
from now we are going to dig up the silver dollar you just lost?"

Anyway, if you can get the darned thing working, it would surely save us a
lot of time, travel, batteries, and shoe leather today ...

Cheers,

Joe
