Funny you should ask ! I often keep a magic ring in my pocket …
it’s my wedding ring, and it’s kind of big, so I take it off a lot (like when I wash my hands) and keep it in my pocket. I always hope to run into Gollum but I never do.
Also, I’ve got a subway token, a bunch of change and a library card.
