I so want to say a whistle, or part of one, the kind like police and air raid sirens use (Only much smaller like a toy). The faster the air flow through it the higher pitch sound that would be created. I think it is the insert and missing the tube/cover. can you place it inside of a straw maybe and blew into the straw (plastic end out)

I don't think it's a whistle since he's using it to write with. (he wrote that note with the item) some kind of makeup maybe?

But it's metal . Registers as a mid range to high..same as lead and it's solid and can't open, found it on the beach.

I'm totally baffled by it, I want to say some old type of fishing weight or from an old lure or something

I think that it is an old military gun oiler. This is an example of one type: http://www.libertytreecollectors.com/productcart/pc/catalog/M1CarbOilerIS.JPG

Nope, no threads I had to break it off. Lead casing, paper filled with probably some kind of acidic powder, cause it has a copper like insert like a conductor.
