Coinstar vacation

[DigToChina]

Hi all,

It's too cold to MD at home still (for me) and I couldn't justify bring the MD south for the week so I took a page from Monstarules (thanks for the tips in your thread!) and asked for the dirt cup and tray. Didn't use any pretences just told them I wanted it. The first Walmart con star was absolutely filthy so they dumped it in a bag.



The second and third Walmart coinstar were almost spotless inside. A few coins (~9) between the two. The second store said the guy had been in yesterday [emoji35]

No silver or anything else super but a nice little haul all the same.



PS: Thanks Bigwavedave for posting that picture of the machine guts in Monstarules thread. That was a huge help to be able to show them what I wanted.

are some of those earrings gold or silver and any of the charms silver?

 

[DigToChina]

All the earrings fog and the charms aren't marked (that I can see) so I doubt it. I need a magnifying glass when I get home to be sure. Pretty sure the "gold" earring is base metal too.

Oh and those burnt things I think are slagged pennies.

earrings could be marked on stems or on bottom.

Very nice Coinstar finds!

Lucky you,, the closest Coinstar is 26 miles away.

Lucky you.

Got that right. Empirically based on the three stores I was only 33% successful.

That a nice haul. SO they actually opened it up for you? Didnt know they would let you do that. Sweet

I agree, most small gold or silver earrings are marked on the post. A gold or silver earring will also never (that I have seen) have a stainless steel post. Nice haul, and congratulations on being bold enough to just ask for the loot!

Feels a little like I'm reviving this thread from the dead but I just got home and figured I'd close out the thread by confirming that under magnified inspection, each of those studs is junk [emoji19] There's always next time.
