A doubloon is about the size of a dime. And that could be old enough to have been beaten up by the rocks over the years. Otherwise it might have been a medallion or pendant - possibly religious. It would be interesting to know how much it weighs.

Is there any detail front or back that seen?

No really there 2 faint lines going through the middle on the other side I'll post a pic when I get a chance

2 Faint lines could be part of a Spanish cross, from an escudo. Just speculation.

Excellent find. You never know what's under your coil...WTG.

Here's the other side. And the size

 

[jewelerguy]

looking at the picture above of it pictured with a dime, it may be possible that it is a US one dollar gold coin. looks as if the '1' is visible horizontal at the 3 o'clock position. compared to this picture I've added, the size looks about right

Sweet find, can you make out what it is?

 

[Mackaydon]

Can you take a pic in sharper focus?

That was as good as I could get with my iPhone. Sorry

It certainly has the appearance of a Gold coin that has been well tumbled by the sea....good find and welcome to Treasurenet If you can try and get some better close up shots, it could lead to a ID

Welcome and congrats!

The sea holds some of the best finds, often at the cost of condition.

Though beaten it likely still has its original mass, perhaps talc or pencil rubbing can catch more detail

I miss hitting the extra lows up here, they're coming before dawn, after Dusk and it's Coooold.
Hope you can put a face on this one

Great find, I also have the iPhone and seems to help if you zoom half way in and then pull phone toward self to focus, shows the detail much better

You might want to check and see if it's 14k, 18k or whatever to try and help identify. US 2 1/2 dollar gold coin is .900 fine and is 1 mm smaller than a penny and 1/10 mm larger than a dime. Original weight would be 4.18 grams.

Congratulations!! But it's hard to tell gold or not from the picture, in spite of the test is positive. The gold is always nice, i believe you. Well done!! Good luck next hunts.
