I saw that thread.

My Take: Once fired, the bullet becomes abandoned property, and thus subject to the normal laws of salvage and recovery. Thus, the person who contains the bullet becomes the owner.

The state may seize the bullet as evidence, but evidence is never the property of the state, it's merely seized. They have to give it back when they are done with it.

Exactly this.
The bullet is an extension of the person who fired it, like a thrown fist, the receiver may posses it, the shooter is still responsible for it wherever it ends up.
