Found this in a farm field. It's lead and probably a seal of some sort? It doesn't look like the round bale seals I've seen others find. Almost like a stamped bullet. The decorative font US is on one side and I can't make out the wording on the other side.

Help, thanks!

Federal meat Inspector act was 1906, so it dates to that year or later

YES thank you! NICE job!!!

So it's a meat inspection seal.

PS - that website may come in handy for others, bag/bale seals get posted here often.
