Canaveral Shipwreck Artifact?

[FourEyedWilly]

On Tuesday, May 30th I found a foot-long piece of wood with a round brass(?) nail in it, washed up on the beach just north of the Cape Canaveral launch complex (Playalinda Beach). I am trying to find out how old it might be from the nail. According to the GME reports, the estimated dates of the six wrecks off that coast range from mid-16th century to 19th century.

I have attached photos. The nail head is 1 inch in diameter. The shaft is 5/8" diameter and appears to be broken off at a 2-1/2" length. The wood cavity around the nail appears to have been burned.

Any help would be appreciated. Thanks!
