Is it a bullet? Bolt? Or just a piece of metal?

[rykroll]

Is just me or is that a bullet?

Looks more like multiple pieces of metal that are supposed to swivel or rotate somewhat with a sheared pin or bolt holding them together.

Looks to me like a fired bullet impacted onto another piece of metal, which is probably another fired bullet. We civil war relic diggers occasionally find "Robin Hood" bullets. Name comes from Robin Hood splitting an archery contest opponent's arrow. A fired bullet impacts into a tree, and another bullet coincidentally lands in the hole made by the first bullet. It also happens in target-shooting, when a paper target is nailed onto a board. People sell the civil war ones as "collided" bullets, but they are NOT a mid-air collision. If they'd met in mid-air, they'd be stuck together nose-to-nose.

The photo below shows theresult of two fired bullets meeting in mid-air. It also shows the the "outward-spreading" of the bullet's body-rings, which I think is what I see on the lead object you found.

Please measure and tell us the diameter of the flat end of the circular projection. Its diamter can either confirm or exclude that part of the object as being a bullet.

I don't think so the round part is mushroomed and stuck to the other piece and doesn't go through

Is it ferrous? Attract a magnet?

 

[rykroll]

No I don't believe so

A car battery that was in a fire ? Kind of looks like lead. Did you or didn't you put a magnet to it ??

 

[rykroll]

Yes it's lead not magnetic and I cant imagine a battery terminal made of led not s good conductor

 

[bradyboy]

first thought was a battery terminal

Umm, all car battery terminals are made of lead. So if it is lead we have ruled out a bolt. The first pictures look like an old lead toothpaste tube, shampoo tube, or model plane glue. However the last pictures look like something totally different and not identifiable.

Probably just a melted piece of lead to add to a lead pile. Could have been a lead toy soldier that a kid took a flame thrower to also.

Most, if not all, car batteries have lead connections.
