Hi, I'm in Smyrna, GA and have recently gotten a detector for the first time - seems easy to get hooked. My best finds so far (about 6 hours of hunting) are a 1961 British Penny found at my mom's house and a pre-1911 (I think) shotgun shell just like this...

(from another website) U.M.C. known as the Union Metallic Cartridge Company was founded in 1867 by Marcellus Hartley in Bridgeport, Connecticut. They manufactured a variety of shells up until 1911 at which time the company was merged with Remington.
 
Welcome aboard! I found a shotgun head stamp just like that one about a month ago. Good job[emoji3]
