It gets confusing very quickly doesn't it. Even more interesting is which decisions have meaning and which don't or are all decisions critical.

HMMM,

One way to avoid all that and still put time travel to good use would be to travel back only as an observer to say see were Great grandpa Booker buried them gold coins and pistols at. That way your only changing the future

Very Good Point Chick ! Very interesting thought to. I Had alot of Dreams like that back in the 60s. Actually.. when we drean, I believe we are traveling thru time only thru other dimentions. Hope the Toe Heals Quick !

interesting subject for sure...when i was in Tombstone the other day i was thinking about that all day... That i wish i could go back 150 years and see it like it really was . Not hard to do there, since the town still looks like it did back then. That dream you had.... very interesting. Maybe a spirit from long ago paid you a visit and is trying to tell you to keep looking , that you will find something so cool it'll blow all of us away! Let's hope!

If you guys DO travel back in time, remember not to:

1) fall and crush a butterfly - it will change the color of our sky

2) fall in love with anyone then return back to our time. They will find you in their future. It will freak you out if you haven't travelled back just yet.

3) travel to a time and place where you might see your future self. Again, this will freak yourself out.

4) kill any significant tyrant because someone worse may come along and who knows what would happen, then.

5) steal...er...find all the old coins back then because you gotta leave some for future hunters!!! You would be sad if you couldn't find anything NOW if you went back in time and found them all already. Come on, now!!!

6) whatever you do, do not go to the future and bring someone with you that is going to destroy your time machine. They may leave you in a society that thinks you dress funny.

If you went back in time and picked up a coin that , in the present you'd found while detecting, and you kept it,came back to present time...would that coin still be there in your collection ???????
