todays find- two heart gold earring - the coinstar aka new free "claw" machine

yep folks found a new twist to the old claw machine game * --- but this time you play for free * and the prizes are often gold or diamond earrings --- that are in the trash catcher tray below the coin dump grate area on the coinstar machines --seems gals just love to mix in the earrings into the change they dump / they fall thru the holes in the grate and land below in the trash tray --normally theres no way to get at em -- until now that is* ---yep after seeing several of these justing "sitting there" ----I figgered out a way to nab em -- --I use a spring load claw ended --car machanic nut / screw picker up tool ---slide the tool thru the grate hole --push the plunger --the claw opens -- lower it on the item --let close --pull the goodie out --works like a charm. :wink: --- Ivan

todays "prize" was a two heart earring in gold -- one solid over a hollow outlined one

of course for sharing my trick with you you gotta post your CLAW finds as such as in the "the claw" found me x today

Re: todays find- two heart gold earring - the coinstar aka new free "claw" machine

foreign coins from the magnet (many foreign coins are magnetic)-- andtiny coins and jewelry items most likely from the trash bin* -- if I was there using my"claw" method --you'ld get nothing worth while from the trash bin (cuz I've snagged it already) --- =----I must say very nice "arrangement" you got with the coinstar dude -- of course you check the "reject slot" often for foreign coins and the silver coins that the coinstars reject I'm sure :wink:

Re: todays find- two heart gold earring - the coinstar aka new free "claw" machine

SWR --- who you think your kidding ?---you love being the >:D devil's advocate .

I'm not forcing a opening or breaking into the cash box area -in any way - the the trash grate "openings" already exist * just getting out stuff via the opening thats already there .-- like finding change left behind in the coin "reject" slot -- guess since its not "your change" offically you can't take it "legally" either --- I guess you must leave it behind then --so its a "holy cow" not to be touch except by the machine company man

whats next don't pick up change on the street cuz its "not" yours ?

that law is to stop folks from breaking into the cash boxes of parking meters or money changing machines with the intent to steal money from them

this is just recovering lost bits of jewelry in a "trash bin" .
