Cool finds and video. The pistol bullet is a .44 colt and the rivet you dug went to a sword belt rig. I'm not sure of the proper name we always called them spools.

 

[umrgolf]

Thank you guys.. Dang vayank, I did not know that one. I love learning about this stuff.. I knew there was something peculiar about that rivet It was much bigger and sturdier than all the rest I have dug

 

[umrgolf]

Went back today, and got a few 3 ringers.. cleaned it up pretty good yesterday
