what is it?

[NWHunter61]

Love the new look but can't find the "what is it" section we had before? Sorry if it is out there and I missed it, but I found this today and it has my curiosity up and want to see what you all think before I bust it open. It's like a short screw cap cigar tube...but older. The metal is thicker, heavier and denser. Doesn't appear to have markings. Inside diameter MIGHT be big around enough to hold a dime. I brushed it down a bit and it MIGHT be made of silver...but the detector shows it just shy of that. Anyone ever seen one of these? Thanks, everyone!

It could be a 17th century snuff holder, I see S on it several times, looks like old silver Bermuda?
