Bullets shouldn’t be magnetic since they are made of brass, copper and lead, but I guess these ones had enough rusty ferrous material stuck to them that I pulled them out with a magnet anyway.
The little rod below the horseshoe is also entirely made of copper and not all magnetic, but it was held on to the magnet by some rusty scrap.
I also got a fair amount of loose change, and what I think is a door knob that I was a little worried could be a grenade when I pulled it out amongst the bullets.
Yeah I guessed that was what they were, I’ll have to check what they say on them and confirm it. I think one might be a .22 LR or HMR but I’m only basing that on the fact it’s small and long!
I’m definitely going to work out a way to display the better condition ones next to the 1911. There’s a good chance they are from WW2, most of the guns used in crime here are old ones I think, so it would make sense that the ammunition is too.
That long skinny one is too big for a .22 LR. Idk what it is, but I don’t think it’s a .22. .22’s are really tiny.
