A hunk of lead & is this U.S. a civil war rosette?

Friend & I finally got a chance to hunt a couple hundred acre field we got permission at a couple months ago.. After a hour or so of only old iron pieces of farm equipment, we moved closer to the farm house and barns. Still not as much luck as we were hoping but I dug this large piece of lead and what appears to be a US rosette..?

Any thoughts, ideas, or info on the piece would be appreciated....

Thanks & HH!

Looks as if it could be a bridle bit boss from civil war US calvary

From the looks of it, I would say that it is SpanAm period. Most civilwar ones had lead filling and the letters were just slightly different.

IMO, the letters and the construction look wrong for CW. I think it is Late 1800s or WWI era.
