Bale Seals?

Found quite a few of this in a short time and was wondering if they are bale seals. I could not really see any marking on the but perhaps they faded or something.

Yep, but bales are just one of the many uses for them.

the bottom left corner lead looks like a fishing/cast net weight.

Hello, thanks for the information. The one looks like it was made into a sinker or something. I have a few other lead pieces that I believe they used for fishing. Also went back today and found more of these items along with a one piece button with a eagle button and tons of camp lead.

They are bale/bag seals if they have a 2 parallel holes running across there width. If not they could be homemade weights.
