Found a Crashed part of a Space Shuttle!

[CRUSADER]

Cru'dad & I found an area of field which had been left fallow, it was about 2 acres (picture 2), we covered this area in 2.5 hours & got the following:

Medieval Bronze Cauldron Foot (claw shaped)
Victorian (maybe earlier) Silver Perfume Bottle Top
Lovats Scouts Yeomanry WWI button - Scots Highlanders (nice condition, only have 2 examples, I think this is the best)
Early 19th C Militia Button


Then we moved fields...

Congrats on beating your Roman count Crusader, and got a nice piece of stamped silver too. What's the deal with the rifle bullet, isn't it illegal to own guns in many parts of the U.K.?

OK, lots of people have commented on the bullet, it not a tracer or anything like, its a very small rim fire cartridge type for rabbits, its got a red 'plastic' tip. No idea why its plastic, it most be a modern development for?

Yes you probably need a licience to own this gun but lots of farmers/hunters do.

Success of a good team!
I like the badge and the silver thimble ....

No, that's the perfume lid

Well, in the Good Ole US of A, we call them thimbles.
Excellent finds as usual, what is the stamped silver, the AF&Co?
Nice wedding, by the way.

not sure, but although its flat now it may have curved around a pipe stem.

Regarding the cartridge. It is designed with the plastic tip in order to maintain the aerodynamics of a pointed bullet and increase feeding reliability but still have the advantages of a hollow point. Upon impact the soft plastic tip fragments and the remainder of the bullet acts as a (nearly) normal hollow point.

The bullet is a hollow point with the hard plastic tip inserted for accuracy. Upon impact the tip is supposed to come out so the bullet then becomes a hollow point again. Makes a nasty wound.

also I bet it has been struck by the fireing pin, but not hard enough to make it go off. then tossed. I have a savage that does it.
