Copper clenching nail?
http://www.faeringdesigninc.com/fst-clen.html
A proper clenching nail has been increasingly difficult to find as the older manufacturers have disappeared from the scene. Fortunately we have found a domestic nail and tack maker to once again make available this quality fastener. The blunt nail point provides for a stronger tip as it is turned or clenched back into the wood.

If you found it in the water-the shifting sands due that------kinda polish it as it rolls in the tide ....They used them because - well iron & steel didn't do so well in salt water... Brass / bronze

You may not beleive this but in a famous copper mining town as kids we used to put shovels in the water that had gathered in the old shafts and in a few months time the shovels were copper plated.I have found square nails in this water also copper plated
