these are some roman coins and one turkish (silver i think)
a cool ring (roman perhaps)
something with stones on it (i hope diamonds)
and an unknown object with the same symbol that is on the ring
and a yellow heart that i think is gold

The first coin is a CONSTANTINE II circa AD 319 minted in Siscia. Legends are: Obv is CONSTANTINVS IVN NOB CAES; Rev VICTORIAE LAETAE PRINC PERP showing 2 Victories facing each other holding shield inscribed with VOT PR resting on altar.

The second coin is an AURELIAN circa AD 270-275 with Obv legend IMP AVRELIANVS AVG.

The third coin is an AUGUSTUS (struck after his death in AD 14) probably an AE AS. Obv legend is DIVVS AVGVSTVS PATER. On Reverse is Eagle facing on Globe, head right with letters S in left and C in right fields.

Nice finds :thumbsup:..Ok this is a bit of a guess, the round item that has the four prongs on the back, might be a Roman rose Compass, the prongs might be infact legs. The depression on the front might have held water, a piece of cork was placed on the water with a metal pin inserted, the pin would always point to North.
The pattern on your piece is exactly like the same as the Rose Compass with the 8 point principle winds....but just a guess.

None of the coins have any value worth mentioning.

The ring is 18/19th C - not much either.

Item seven could also be a small sundial?
