coop Bedrock of the Community United States 62064 Posts	Posted 03/31/2018 10:51 am I was trying to figure out what it was. But I think John1 hit it. If looks like something was spilled on the coin and the part on the top of the device was worn off. It may have moved and is not stuck under the base area. Report this Post to the Staff
