Pretty sure it's lead. It looks like bale seals, that I have seen posted, but it does not have any symbols pressed into it. What else could it be?

This type was used until fairly recent inter alia for seed, fertilizer flour etc. sacks, so you can expect them fairly oftern on any field. Greets Namxat Upvote 0
