there will be a coin or two in one ( well...Maybe ) Strange all metal shotgun brass
and the stirrup. It was nice days for hunting , Love the warm weather. Thanks for

I found a house on this plot in an 1890 map , not sure how old the
home was at that time or how long it stayed inhabited . Area residents
say that a house (same one ?) was torn down there in the early 60's.
Local teens have used the area as a party spot for many years and there is
trash everywhere Found a merc. and silver quarter in the same area
last summer .....Terri

All-brass shotshells were manufactured in America at least as early as the mid-1870's and were still being manufactured at least as late as the 1950's. They were popular among reloaders because

Hey kid, So you found a cellar hole??? Hope you like iron and trash You weren't digging in the hole itself were you? They can be tough going sometimes. The compact you found is real nice. If there is a makers name on it you can Google it or look for that name on E bay. That can ID when it was made. Sorry there were no coins in it for you, but if it makes you feel better, a friend of mine just found a pocket watch with a Walking Liberty Half in the back of it.:veryangry: Hunt those cellar holes slowly and with the smallest coil you have. If your machine has a recovery speed, turn it up about 3/4 of the way. A fast recovery is a must. Hope you have some luck there. Cellar holes aren't for the weak at heart

was probably the first U.S. company to produce and market all-brass shotshells in about 1868. They continued with the UMC headstamp until 1916, when the headstamp changed to "Remington UMC" because UMC had bought-out Remington five years prior. In 1891, in addition to the UMC headstamp, UMC added additional brand names to their headstamps, including New Club, Nitro, Smokeless, Lightning, Black-Club, Arrow, Nitro Club, Monarch, Majestic, Acme, Challenge, Expert, High Base, Magic and Primrose Club. With your shotshell lacking any of these brand names, it is likely that it dates in the 1868 to 1890 time frame. The No 10 on your shotshell means it is a 10 gauge shell.

Nice find!

I have 2 unfired all brass shotshells in my cartridge collection. I think they are blackpowder shells. They are neat.
