Silver in color, looks of "fools gold",large rock.found on Oregon coast beach around July 10,2018

I was visiting Oregon last weekend and did a lot of beach combing! I was mostly searching for agate and sand dollars but on one of the beaches I found an interesting piece of something. It looked like a tooth to me. (The very first one I found was #7) I was so excited and positive it was a tooth, until I began to find more. After continuing to find more small pieces that looked similar, I realized with disappointment they were more than likely just shell pieces and not fossils at all. However, the hopeful I am, I thought I'd come to the professionals to get them ID'd just to be sure. All were found on the beach between Cannon Beach and Arcadia Beach. The tide was low at the time (not sure if this is helpful.) I took photos of them before I had read that a size reference is handy so I apologize for not having that. If it's at all helpful, most are smaller than or about the size of a quarter. I took photos of each one next to the number to help differentiate. #30 and 31 are most likely shell pieces but I wasn't sure about the rest. I appreciate any help and thank you for your time! http://imgur.com/a/Sdpyz
