I was hunting a local tear-out yesterday, and among other finds, I dug out this small aluminum item. It came out a little squished, but I was able to bend it roughly back into shape when I cleaned it up in the sink. It was dug in the same vicinity and from about the same 7” depth as the Indian in the picture, and I also found a 1901 Indian close by from similar depth, so I’m thinking it might be of similar age. It’s smaller than an IHP, the inside surface is smooth, and there’s a little reeding around the top of the outside surface which I figure is to give your fingers some grip to pull or twist it off of whatever it was attached to.
I figured the research would be easy with all the lettering, but so far, I’ve come up empty... I assume it’s a cap of some sort (old medicine vile??), or maybe the end off of some sort of electrical fuse? Anyway, I was hoping someone else might have better luck than me finding a match for what this cap came from? Any ideas? Thanks in advance!

Both can get pretty technical, just one's above the ground, the other below 
Yes, I'm afraid my posting and detecting have slowed down significantly - I've had a sudden health issue that affected my hearing significantly, which has shifted my priorities a bit. My hearing has improved a decent amount, and I've been able to return to flying, which has been a huge relief - it's my true passion, and it's how I make my living. And I'm still detecting...it just sounds a bit different!
