While out detecting this afternoon I dug an old UMC Co. Shotgun cap missing its paper shell. Looking up the markings it was made between 1902-1910. And in 1911 they merged with Remington.

Those are very interesting finds and some people like to collect them. 
If you hunt the woods enough you are bound to come across some of the solid brass shotgun shells too.

Congrats on your find. They are actually called headstamps. There are quite a few that are very collectable. Here is a site that will help you on future id's.
