My 1st real find! Shotgun brass

Been hunting only a few times and have only found 1980s and newer pennies, soda cans and aluminum siding clips. Today I hunted in my neighbors woods and found this. It says UMC CO NEW CLUB NO 12. From what I find from google this company made these from 1867-1911.

Cool shotgun hull! Where are you in Alabama? I am in Huntsville, where it seems the rain will never stop!

Its never ending, but it makes for easier digging!!! We are also laying sod this weekend so Im not complaining! Not too far from Montgomery.
