Eye of the storm on Saturday!

Then tonight. Stuck with High tide and then it started raining! So just took a chance down the road to see what had fallen out the dunes. Someone must be very bad at casting!

In my mind it was a gold with a ruby set.

Any ideas on the holey thing? Seems familiar but I cannot place what it is :-/

Cheers.
No not in the dunes Greg.
The big tides and storm surge has cut into the dunes along our beaches so the finds are now spread along the high tide stretch. What once were sloping dunes are now steep walls of sand, but all that sand (and gold?) has been spread along the beach?

I am trying to guess how these items will have been spread :-/ the junk ring was along an eddy line.

the holey thing is part of a air rifle pellet loader like the ones for the logun s-16.
