I am thinking they were tapped into the end of the ties. When I was a kid and worked on the tracks an old track boss always got the old tags off of the cross ties we pulled.
Maybe some more knowledgable guys will chime in.
Or maybe the lead tags on the car doors to show they had not been opened?

Hello Taz42o. Thanks for the ID. Found three more seals tonight all from the Florida East Coast line at a station, long gone now, that went into operation in 1910 and was gone by the 1930's.

Based upon finding these lead seals I think I am digging near where the old train station must have been situated, so....gotta dig somemore. HH.
