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.

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?
