Need help, What is it?

[Jaws2]

If anyone can identify the aluminum rectangular object, please do.

Thanks for your help!

I have added a couple of pictures, the thing seems to be sealed/water tight, I want to open it but not sure if that is the smart thing to do. It weighs 60 grams it is 1"x5"x1/2" it seems solid when I squeeze it?

Thanks for your comments.

Any lettering or numbering on the ends; or hinges on the side or different design on the back side?

hard to tell from the picture. Could it be a cover on a propane lighter?

The slit in JPG 002 makes me think the object opens up; does it?

Cheyenne72...that is exactly what I thought when I saw it...have used my share of these.
It also looks like it could be an anode of some kind made of Zinc.

Is it sealed in a plastic bag? Did you dig this up or find it riverside?

It does look like a tip cleaner. It should open up. Tony

It's a two ounce brick of heroin (at least that's what they look like on newscasts )
