Is it possible Rebs melted buckles for bullets?

I dug this in skirmish civil war area with a couple 3 ringers. I havent had the grace to dig a buckle yet but to me this looks like a melted union buckle.The puppy paw back or what ever it is referred to, one pad or toe is still visable. Is this my first buckle?

First, welcome to Tnet. What is your relic made of? Is it melted lead or brass? And if it is lead, is your "surviving pad" of the puppy paw brass? Really hard to know for sure without holding it first hand, but i see where a buckle would come to mind . . . Hope it is, good luck!

You say it's Confirmed , that's Great.

My comments were / are .' It looks to be about the right size & I have seen many buckle Faces With out their lead backs & quite a few lone attachment hooks.
