The storm surge from the remnants of cyclone Iti shifted lots of sand on the beach I visited this weekend and hunting the low spots produced many crusty coins and these two 14k (585) rings.

Good job MK, I have been a bit lazy on those probably pull tab signals and hence no rings to speak of, which my wife reminds me of that fact quite frequently.
