No. Ruthenium usually occurs as a minor component of platinum ores and its annual production is only about 20 tonnes.
Ruthenium was discovered by Karl Ernst Klaus in 1844.

The principal ores are calaverite, a telluride (containing tellurium) containing 40 percent gold, and sylvanite, a mixture containing 28 percent gold
wood Petrol, methane gas, wood, coal, diamonds, precious and semi precious stones, uranium, cobalt, nickel, lanthanides, gold, platinum and other platinum metals, iron ores, potassium ores, chromium, asbestos and many others.

The most common uranium containing ores are uraninite and pitchblende. There are many others; see link.
Platinum, like gold, can be alluvially transported from a lode and found in ore-grade sand deposits, so yes, conceivable, platinum ores can be found on the beach. Platinum nuggets from placer deposits are far rarer than gold nuggets and are highly valued by collectors.
No.
