I found this a few years ago and thought it was a piece off a cannonball. I knew it was a cleaner cut than I thought would be found in the ground but kind of blew it off as coincidence. Recently going through my stuff I looked at it again and am thinking this may be the lead insert to a cartridge box, breastplate or buckle. Not sure. Can anyone lend some advise on this thought process? It is approximately 3" in diameter and about 3/4" thick in deepest spot. It is almost perfectly circular and the back has no indication of attachment (i. e, rust or wire protrustions). It weighs 1 lb 5.9 oz of solid lead. I keep looking at the front and think there may be an image of an eagle imbedded in it but may be my imagination. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks!
