Yes. Dupont.

Eleuthère Irénée du Pont

Possibly a cap for a gun powder tin? That would make since for Dupont. Although looks kinda small...

They were the stoppers for the flask or can that the powder came in,that they would fill there horn or flask with.Once the can was empty they just tossed them.I will post a pic of what I am talking about when I can get on my computer.I have often wondered why they didnt melt them into projectiles,they must have been a poor grade lead? :icon_scratch:
It is crazy how many we dig,predominately E.I's,but Hazards,and American,or Eagles pop up too.
