Maybe the cover of a match safe (vesta), based on the possible striker area on the bottom?
Are you able to show a picture of the back?

Yup, the ribbed part on the base is where the matches were struck. 
The back portion would likely still be in the vicinity of where this was found.
It maybe either pewter, zinc or pot metal.
