What is that coin/token on the bottom right?

The arcade token is for Hinkle's Family Fun Center. (Arcades, mini golf, race cars, etc.) They may or may not still take tokens as most places have refitted their machines and don't take tokens anymore.
Although if I went there they would probably give me credits. I have a bunch more as this is a local place. I also have tons of Chuck E Cheese, Dave and Busters, a local movie theater arcade, Peter Piper Pizza etc.
If you see the film "Sunshine Cleaning" (I think that is it) You will see Hinkle's.

 

This started out to be a disaster but the second half was good. Made almost 2x my gas. Had a little spill 6 quarters and a dime. The ring is stamped 925 but it's from China so we will get it tested to see if it is real.

 

The top row I had 5 looks at a W. I have never found a W metal detecting, and I have found over 9600 quarters. Although, the W's have only been available since 2019 but I imagine I have found 500 of them. (2019 and 2020). The huge medallion on the bottom right says Long Beach Lighthouse on one side and the other side says Shoreline Village.

 

Only went to 3 spots broke even. The 4th spot which was always decent was perma locked so that was disappointing.

 

Made a scooch over my gas and a small silver. 1.3g

 

Ring stamped 925 China came back fake. No surprise.
I have real stuff and fake stuff from them.

 

Last week was a horrendous disaster. I had one good spot/spill near the end but the other 95% of the hunt was just beat after beat after beat. This week made almost 2x my gas expense.

 

So it was a huge scrounge, I break even on the gas. But the chain is marked 417 which means 41.7% (10K) 4.4 grams $140.
