Lead seals were used for alot of things, including sealing merchandise and trunks. They would run a wire thru a hole in the latch (kinda like an old padlock) and connect the wires with a lead seal. Not so much for security, but to tell if the goods were tampered with.

The seal looks like it could be from the Erie rail road

I am fairly new also and have only dug on my own property, but I am SO hooked. I like everything I find because it has a story in history. When I hit a prairie dog hole and find and item in it or nearby, I think those little critters are treasure hunters!
