The most obvious retort to this idea would be some Spanish/French/American group which had knowledge of iron and for some reason set about using that site later on. Of course, I would also expect that you'd find other artifacts (buttons, bullets, etc.) which would be a definite giveaway. I gather you have not found anything like that so back to the mystery.
Also, you wouldn't need any extravagant furnace for melting lead. A small pot suspended via tripod over a campfire would suffice and the molten lead could then be poured or ladled into a bullet mold.

Something is wrong here. War, disease, death, destruction, hunger, filth, poverty, torture, crime, corruption, and the Ice Capades. Something is definitely wrong. This is not good work. If this is the best God can do, I am not impressed.

that these man-made holes are called Spring Wells
Be happy they didn't call them "ritual baths" or "basins to catch the blood of sacrificial victims."
I know....perhaps they were watering troughs for very small horses?

BTW, have you ever run a plumber's snake through that hole to see how deep it is or where it goes?

Looks to be a couple of feet between the 'vent' and the 'furnace.' If they are connected it is either an amazingly fortunate bit of geology OR another example of a supposed skill which was not present in pre-Columbian Texas.
Tell those geologists to hurry up!

Any speculation on what those teeth and mandibles may be from?
