Dragonsoldier, If it is aluminum, it may be a cattle tag. If it is heavy lead, I'm not quite sure. Cool find! Sub

It seems to match what this seller describes as a huge cattle tag, as suggested: https://www.etsy.com/listing/207660699/huge-aluminum-tag-cow-cattle-bull-tag?ref=market
I don't know enough to say I've seen one like these myself

Good enough for me, friends. It was found in a local park, however it was near the park propertyline that joins a very old farm. But I am still open for any ideas, because I've never found a tag that big.

Assuming that yours is marked as being made by Hasco, as the one in the above link, you could send them an inquiry, as they are still in business: Hasco Tag Company - Home of the #1 Selling Metal Ear Tag in America!

It's definately aluminum and appears to be a Hasco. I'm hoping to contact then real soon just to see how old it is. Poor cow had to have one ear longer than the other. Any ideas on how well this would door in an electolysis bath?
