Looks like Lead Cannister or Grape Shot to be loaded into a Cannon and fired out at close range. It's quite deadly to a charging army. We find them here in Virginia related to

the Civil War, most are made of Iron, but there are many made of lead also and being that you live out West I would venture a guess that it was possibly ammo made for the

Indian Wars in the Mid to Later half of the 1800s. Nice find
