The posts here, though still unsure how frequently they will come, will be about two topics:</p>
<ol>
  <li>Discussion of projects I am working on</li>
  <li>Things I found while metal detecting</li>
</ol>

<p>Recently I’ve been doing metal detecting in the local park, but when I was on Rutgers Campus, I also detected next to some of the dorms. I’ve probably made several dollars in change I’ve found - but no coins of great significance. The most interesting find I’ve made was a <a href="https://www.nycsubway.org/wiki/New_York_City_Subway_Tokens">late 80s NYC subway token, unpunched</a>. That’s one thing about that’s nice about detecting - when you find cool things, it also comes with a fun history lesson. I never knew that subway tokens were a thing!</p>

<p>Anyways, the blog will probably run half and half between the two listed topics - the metal detecting posts will be about places I detected around New Brunswick.</p>]]></content><author><name>George Tsoukalas</name><email>george.tsoukalas@utexas.edu</email></author><category term="setup" /><summary type="html"><![CDATA[This is the first post of my blog.
