Please help me ID this lead seal

Rammjäger · Jan 3, 2013

At the same hill where I found a 1864 musket ball I also found this seal.
It could be a modern seal,but I doubt it .Lead didn't turn white at these
grounds. I never saw such a big seal before .... :wow:

It says " Goyds" but I didn't find anything similar in internet :?:

Any ideas please? :thinking:

Back side of the seal

I took 2 extra pics from its backside and 2 from the frontside.
A big "S" is visible .
Agrochemical seal should be an option? :?:

you mean it could be 60 yards ?

Maybe a bale seal for 60 yards of a certain product, sort of like how much volume in the container.

I agree with the others..looks like 60 yds to me also. Iron patch's thought is probably right on!
