Attached images are from beach find , tide out in black silt/sand mix all in the same area!

Images 1&2 are before and after cleaning , have researched a little , although similar to rail spikes I think they could be ship spikes as the heads are more rounded

Images 3&4 very thin copper plate , 4 maybe a fixing?

Images 5&6 are heavy and some kind of silver metal.

Images 7&8 silver coin? 8 shows the bevelled edge.

Image 9 unmarked rings.

Image 10 some kind of ceramic

Any thoughts and opinions welcome!

Congrats on the great finds !

A Jeweler should be able to tell you what time period the Rings were made.
Now stop typing - go back and hunt the entire area low and slow - 9 out of 10 - there's more good stuff !

Good Hunting !

The following thoughts are speculative, but for what it's worth;...............................
DON"T POLISH THE RINGS !!! Leave them as is. I'm guessing they were in the salt water for a very long time & could be of a high karat, possibly 22k looking at the degree of tarnish & the apparent malleability of the upper & lower shanks. 14k would be a darker brown & wouldn't be as malleable. I agree with "E-Trac-Ohio". You could be on an old wreck & there are more "goodies" to be found. CHEERS !! Nice find & best wishes for more !!

I would of said the metal was brass from the colour/toning. Seen old brass that looks like gold from being in the water for a longtime.
The other reasons are the ring having paste looking stones, and has a blueish stain which could be from the two pieces being joined.
