Default Christmas Eve gold and silver

Shopping is done, honey do's are done, nothing left to do but have some fun! Hit the beach at 6:00am this fine Christmas Eve morning in hopes of having the beach to myself. Ha!! So did a lot of other people! Shocking actually! Anyway, worked a really nice cut in the sand for lots of variety. Found a Tiffany & Co 925 1837 Silver ring. Came out of the sand black as night. Found a 1945 war silver alloy nickel not long after. Then I found 2 very large coins about 3 feet from each other that I have never seen before. Take a look at the pic's and if anyone knows what they are, please let me know. Found the usual clad and trash, but the high of the day was the gold signature ring. It's broken, but it's gold. Weighs 3.10 grams. Was a nice way to finish off a spring like day on the eve of Christmas. Enjoy the pic's. MERRY CHRISTMAS!!!

Sweet finds Vinnie!
Really like those rings.
I'm just guessing here but the coins look french, I think they still "own" some polyniesian (spelling?) islands maybe from one of them? Jamie.
