Found this rivet at site here in the desert outside Phoenix. First one I have ever found with a anchor. 99.5% of rivets I find have no marks. Rather large rivet too. Have found items at this site that were made back into the 1860's. Most finds from this site date 1890-1920's.

The rivet head is 0.550 inches in diameter. The post diameter is 0.162 diameter. Overall height is 0.390 inches.

Anyone have any ideas? Could it be military related? Thanks for any information
