Dug this up in Millen Ga with a metal detector & wasn’t sure how to date it I know it’s pretty old but I don’t know much about these so any info would be great

Thank you, it looks exactly like the first one pictured I posted the actual pic of the one I dug up I also found a really old ax that I don’t know anything about either they were side by side in the ground so I’m assuming from around the same time period I’m excited for another dig in the future

The date for your headstamp would be "1892-1905". No, I am NO expert, but I printed off a 20 page guide of UMC Shot Shells from www.carteide-corner.com
