Hey all I know I haven't posted in a while but I'm back! This was mostly cause I haven't been uot much lately 
Anyways Saturday was a road trip day, to Boston. We went for Castle Island and beach detecting. We didn't get to Castle Island because of the hordes of small children in costumes, must have been some kind of halloween thing. So we walked around the fort there a bit, then we got some food and headed for the beach.
On the beach it looked as if a building had exploded, brick pieces everywhere, epecially the 10-20 feet in front of the water which was all sorts of debris covered in barnacles. But good thing was this debris partially composed of broken (old) bottles and pottery/ceramics. I found several glass pieces, including a green marble, and my mom found even more stuff, including an intact mason jar. So Detecting was rather productive. Found a '37 buffalo (No D, all four legs :P ), 1946 and '48 dimes, thus bringing my dug silver total for 2011 to a whole three! (Pathetic, I know). I also found some authentic junk, and the world's saddest wheat cent. You can just make out the ON and part of the E in ONE. This one was actuallyon top of the sand, no detector needed.
Other things found included some slag (Silver? Maybe? Hopefully?) a battery, some iron, a couple whatzits, and a rivet.
After a long day, we get home and I check the phone. Turns out my usual hunting partner,y cousin Bob, called at 10 AM when we were halfway to Boston. He wanted to go detecting, which he did do, just alone. *sniffle* So I call him back around 7:30 and we talk for a bit and decide to go stealthing, cause night detecting is often times more exciting, cause it's hard to see sometimes what you have found, making it more of a surprise. So I arrive at his house around 8-8:15, but we had to wait for his wife to come home, cause she wanted to come, too. So we sit arond, clean up his more recent finds, have me and my young eyes ID a few things including a Connecticut copper which he thought was a KGII. (Last time I had to ID a copper it was a Vermont Copper [1786 Baby Head]). Norma gets home around 9, and we depart at about 9:20, after she decides that she isn't going to go at all
:P So we go, and get there to find that the farmers had leveled off the fields! They must've known we were coming and said, "Hey, these guys are coming to detect, this hilly field will never do!" :P So we're excited about the conditions, and get to work. I end up finding a dandy button, and a whatzit. Earlier that day or the day prior, Bob had been in that field and found a smaller piece of what I found. But of course he had to get the find of the day :P, an 1858 Flying eagle cent in really good condition. He also found a button.
That's all, thanks for looking and happy hunting!

(The added pics are of the glass finds that my mom found. Any ID on the ________ & Cochrane bottle base would be very much appreciated!)
