Shield Boss weights

This is cross-posted from the armour construction forum.
Does anyone have any credible weights for extant shield bosses? It would have to be well-preserved so that corrosion losses are not too significant. Perhaps something from Dura Europos?
Roman or post-Roman examples preferred but any data points would be good.
