Never had a 30 cal shell in a tire before

The weirdest thing that ever gave me a flat tire was one of the two pins(see pic below) that holds a wrist watch onto the wrist band. How that ever got off someones watch and into my tire still has me scratchin' my head.

Maybe you ran over the whole watch?

Guy I worked with got a 1" pipe nipple through his tire after moving our drilling rig. Cut a 1" circle clean out of the tire. Guess it bounced out of the parts house going down the bumpy dirt road. Tire had less than 500 miles on it too, dude was pissed.

Could be but I don't think so. If I ran over the watch, I would think the pin would be inside the sleeve that holds it on the watch band, thereby keeping it from entering the tire. The guy at the tire repair shop was also scratchin' his head and said he had never seen anything like it before either.

Sometimes a front tire can get things to bouncing around where a rear tire can catch 'em just right (lol, or just wrong) to drive it into the tire. Following or meeting a car in traffic can do the same thing.

Something that small could be bounced around just by the air currents of passing vehicles.

That would be within the realm of possibilities.

I pulled a piton out of a brand new tire, in Richardson Tx.....bless her heart, she asked if I could plug it.

Spark plug and a rail road spike both right front tires about 4 years apart.

I had a complete spark plug inside a tire once. Had never heard of that one.

Almost made it to a tire shop except the tire shop (that was suppose to be open today) was closed.
Here's a picture of the shell casing in the tire. It was a 9mm.
Like I said, I made it to the place I bought the tire's (road hazard) and it was closed (15 miles one way). Tried to make it back home and only got 10 of the 15 miles. 9mm came out and so did the air.
Wife had to bring me my air compressor that got me enough air to drive the last 5 miles (dead flat when I pulled in).

Why didn't you pull it off and put the spare on? You may have ruined the tire driving on it like that.
