Strange find

Found these two targets while relic hunting yesterday. The first item looks to be an aluminum cloths pin. This is the second one I've found at this site. The second item has be buffaloed. At first I thought it was a 357 magnum cartridge but its not. It tapers from right to left. There is a hole that goes all the way through. The hole also tapers from the larger to a small hole. Appears to be non-ferrous in nature. Very strange.

Its for an old cap gun!

Yep! I had one of those. The cap was placed in a brass case, then the "bullet" was placed on top of it. Loaded into the cylinder, when the hammer struck the rear of the case it fired the cap. The hole allowed the noise and smoke to escape.
