Our friend Monte was hunting some family land with us and he found a thimble that sounds similar to what you found. It's sterling with the engraving MKD on this inside. Here's a little info on the one he found:

This is what he found. The lower band appears to be gold plated.

around 1880 - 1900. Too bad you didn't find it in the bottle. The piece at the bottom had a round piece of leather on it and the carbon dioxide kept it pushed to the top. To open you pushed the metal top down and it went pop. Hence the name soda pop. This is what I learned a long time ago. I love finding the bottles here underwater. Some are worth a mint!
