Diamonds? Mystery pieces and a war nickle. Need ID help.

I MDed my buddy's office (old house) today from 1pm. to 4pm. I MDed at that time in Fl. why not here, it is a lot cooler. I am almost finished MDing it with the sniper. I will go over the yard with the stock coil next. I know there is more good stuff deeper. Many of my targets were 4" to 6" deep. I got a 59 cent at 6+", but no really old coins this time. This is the trash total. My oldest coin is a 1945-p war nickle(silver).

This is the cleaned up total.

This thing wasn't rusty. It is not lead. It is silver gray. It looks like pewter, but it is peeling. It hit on cent. It is heavy.

It is not in focus. You can still see the two holes at the top. What is it and what is it made of?

Next on the I don't know list. It has a small weld at the top that showed some rust. It is not rusty. What looks like rust is stains from the clay. It is not as shiny as the thing above. It is heavy, but doesn't seemed to be made of the same material as the thing above. It hit on cent also. It is the same on both sides and fatter in the middle.

I wish these were real, but I have my strong doubt's that it is. It has one stone missing. I think the metal is copper. It doesn't want to clean up. When I try to clean it up, I start popping out stones.

A very interesting set of finds John.
The thingymagig looks like a chess queen, but don't know about the holes in it. Maybe it's part of a little condiment set?
The token I can't see it clear enough but could it be a Masonic token?
The rings with stones look very old possibly Victorian but nice.
