Found in a river. Pistol, bullets, anchor? civil war???

[lowd]

I guys I found these items in a river a bunch of what I believe are civil war bullets but if so what are they? I also found this strange very heavy thing maybe an old anchor? It's metal solid about the size of a large orange

The large weight item is really cool! Could it be a sounding weight? Possibly a trot line weight also. I don't know, but I like it.

I believe the large weight is a downrigger ball used to get lighter weight fishing lines down deep while trolling.

The cap gun looks like a vintage Fanner 50 by Mattel.

Neat finds,

It's definitely an actual revolver, it appears to be a .22 so it's probably not as old as I suspected.

the revolver looks like an old three screw ruger... can you show the other side of the receiver?

The object that looks like a small paddle, I think is a bit for an air chisel.

The revovler could be a Ruger Single Six, they came out around 1952.

Here's the other side it's falling apart but the top over the revolver piece is lead if that helps

 

[pippinwhitepaws]

if the backstrap is lead...the weapon is a toy or demilled wall hanger.

The Ruger single six in the 50's had a firing pin on the hammer. Don't see a firing pin on this one.
