stuff from a 1850s church

I went to the old church here in town that was founded in 1850 and found the front door key. We believe it is from one of the original doors. It was 8 inches deep. I also found two wheaties from the 1940s. Plus some clad stuff. If you look close at the head you can barely see the numbers 85 stamped on it. I can't make out if it is 1885 or just 85.

I also found my first live bullet. It was in the church lawn. It is a 40 caliber S&W. There was a gun battle there last summer, The police think it may be from that battle. I am giving it to the police in the morning. They said they would like to have it. Besides what the heck would I do with a live bullet.
It was a very interesting day doing our hobby.

I like the skeleton keys !!! those are cool the 40 cal bullet more than likely belongs to one of the officers, that is the cal. of choice of many depts now days more power without the over penetration of the 9mm.

Did a little digital forensic work on the ket numbers - I think all that's there is "85" - maybe a room number or something?

It is a 40 caliber bullet.
