✅ SOLVED Could it be a lead sinker?

I found this last week digging around an old shed in our back yard. It has a marking that looks like a backward 6. It weighs six ounces. I've never seen anything like it before, have any of you? Thank you for looking at it!

Looks to be a claw / surf sinker: Lead Fishing Weights for sport and commercial sinkers.
