For someone who grew up in the middle of the USA in a very small, mostly white, Christian community, I have never seen those little pots and statues! I have been to the Gulf of Mexico, a couple of places in Mexico, and the Atlantic several times. But never seen as much variety of things! So cool to watch you find it all! Thank you for sharing. I would be out there every day, hunting!

At 5:58... This is a statue of Shiva holding baby Ganesha on his lap with Ganeha's mother Parvati. The statues head is broken off. Ganesha is one of several water gods Hindus worship. I croped and enlarged photo of statue on rock and then search on web for similar statue. Near end of video I see the Chinese statues you're talking about. I thought you were talking about 5:58...

You are on an ancient temple/castle which went through a mega disaster, most likely a huge volcano eruption. There's chambers beneath which links to neighboring mountains. Coins and relics embedded within volcanic glass/limestones or clay. Look for big tree, the chambers should be right next to it. And don't forget to remove the ''main boulders''. Cheers....
