Screw Cap?

Sorry about focus. Need to learn how to make sharply focused closeups.

Diameter is about the size of a half dollar. Two small rectangular slots opposite each other near the edge. Spanner wrench slots?

Brass or pewter. Can't tell for sure.

Found while hunting a civil war campsite but there is also an early 1900s house site near where I found this.
