Hi all!
Was near a branch today that had reportedly gotten a new machine in so decided to dump. It is the type that you feed, but the inside is open so if anything won't go thru you can reach in and take it out. When my coins were finished I heard a strange sound while the table was still turning. I suspected it was a bent coin so waited for the machine to stop so I could remove it. This is what I found. .925 baby!!!!

Nice job on the .925?? sterling ring. I've never found a silver ring in a coin machine before, but was fortunate enough to find a 10k ring.
Thanks for sharing.

Yes BB, I put the wrong numbers as usual. No, I have yet to find a 55.

Nice find. The coolest find I've gotten from a machine was a Camp David lapel pin.
I definitely didn't expect that one.
