Default Not Quite Sure

Was detecting the beach here in Fla and found this.
It reads as a dime/quarter. It's approx 1" x 3/4".
It is silvery looking but has gold tones in it.
It's a hard metal.
Could be nothing but I thought I'd post it in case anybody has an idea.

Not a clue! I know I have found quite a bit of melted bits of metal on the beaches here, but that looks too smooth to be that...could be, though. If those hunks of melted metal are big enough, they ring pretty high.

My guess would be melted aluminum.

I know that object well and it is melted aluminum from a campfire. They are a pain in the butt because they ring like they are something good and they just waste your time.
