Craziest thing you have found inside a pool table?

My find isn't really that crazy, but I'll share anyways. I used to work on the road and I stopped into this same bar everyday for lunch. It seemed like once a week the cue ball would get stuck in their 1 and only table. We could always get it out with some coaxing, but one day it wouldn't come out and we had to take it apart. There were maybe 50 pieces of chalk, a few dollars in quarters, another cue ball, and a ton of balled up black electrical tape....I'm not sure how that electrical tape got in there, but I'm assuming that was the main culprit!
I stopped at the local rural hangout one day and there was a kitten (about 8 weeks old) playing inside the table. It would pop out of the side pocket and disappear before coming up out of the other side. Fortunately for the cat, no one was playing pool at the time.
After reading the posts so far, I don't think some of these guys are into pool for the sport>>:smile:
It's good that we aren't talking about all the stuff that could of fallen into the Valley pockets, but didn't.
After I got the table loaded was talking with the guy and I was like that was fun tables more dirty then I thought but ill get it cleaned up the guy says. Better keep it away from ur gf she might get knocked up lol I was like wow hahhaa
That has to be worth upwards to a buck.
Between the silver dollar, the chalk, fingernail polish, the quarters, and the cell phone, you've made yourself a nice little score>:smile:
I talked with a guy who recovers tables here in town a while back. He got a call from a church community center. When he arrived, a kid had crawled inside the ball return area of the valley and was unable to get out.
Table
I've found the oddest things in valley tables...
Ppl would accidentally drop items in the pockets so often at the pool hall and would insist that we take the table apart to recover their item... It got old fast ... If the item was valuable or need to be removed due to obscuring the chutes I would take the slate off but if it was silly item and not worth the effort of the slate removal we would tell them to put their name,phone number and item lost on a piece of paper and toss it in the side pocket opposite ball door and we would call them when the tables are recovered in a few months.
I've seen valley coin op mech and ball drop torn and beat to wood chips. Criminals will chop holes in the side panels with axes,hatchets,hammers or just sbout anything they could get their hands on that might be ridgid enough to beat thru the wood or pry the cash door off its hinges.
Criminals will also break-in and remove the ball view door and bust the shit out of the table inners trying to access the cash box one way or another.

Found 2 Ivory Cue Balls , inside one of the legs on Cent,Brunswick when restoring the table..flipped me out..Yep
I managed a room of 19 Diamond pool tables for a while. Diamonds, as many of you know, unlike Brunswicks, have a hidden shelf under the table where balls get funneled to the ball-return. My house pro one day loses his glasses and, for the life of him, can't find them.
Well, one day, some balls start getting stuck in one of the tables. This is supposed to be highly unusual for a Diamond because of how they're built. I go over with a flashlight and a large stick and lo-and-behold, I find a pair of glasses wedged in a place that's keeping the balls from dropping. So, I got to solve two riddles in one day.

Sigh. I found my spouse going five rails...

i have found some crazy things!
We had a bar owner call me once after the patrons had a "passion" party( if you don't know what that is ask your wife) complaining that the balls were jammed and when I got in there I found an extremely large (in fact i am not sure how they got it down the pocket) vibrating dildo. I also had to go to the doctor a few times for tests because I poked myself with a hyperdemic that was in the ball track.

"Passion party"
Damnit once I realized what it was "she had a boyfriend". After I knew what it was, she even looked better and she liked pool, didn't hurt a gear kicked in, in her presence, Drats... Waiting for current douchebage to show his game... Lol
