I hear stories of cool coinstar finds all the time but never check them when walking by. Every time I take change in, I'll check the return but there's never anything in it. I was at the grocery store earlier and walked past the machine. For some strange reason unknown,I went back and checked. Stuck my hand in there and felt coins :) I put them in my pocket and when I got out to the truck I checked them out. There is 1 dime and 3 quarters that are Canadian and 9 US cents, 3 of which are wheaties!
It was pretty easy to see that 2 of the wheats didn't look right so I checked the dates....1943 on both. Put a magnet on them when I got home and yup...they both steel cents! I've never found one before detecting as they rust away to nothing real fast. Here's a pic of the obverse side....
So cool to find these in the return slot! I will be checking it more often and maybe a little silver will come out of it. Treasures come in many forms and are found in many places you might not expect to find them.
Who would of thought a simple trip to the grocery store would turn up a couple neat finds....made it a great day!
