Hiya....nice find i believe it to be a victorian pewter whistle Cool

There are several similar examples on the UKDFD Site they cover a fairly wide range

and are described as 18th to 19th century...regards PaulB. Cool

Are all these recent finds from the same site Ace? As its beginning to look a good place. If it form the same location once you clear the scrubbish out of the ground - you will see the quality of finds improve mate.

Love the whistle.
