Default 6906 magazine rattles

There seems to be something lose inside my 12 round 6906 magazine. I have two, one rattles the other doesn't. Is there anyway to open this up and dump out what ever it is that's in there. It's like a ball bearing in a paint can.
Thanks in advance

I found out how. I was going to delete this but thought somebody else might wonder how to get in them. There is a little hole in the bottom, I inserted a finish nail, pushed the little nub of a button inside the hole and the bottom plastic pinky guard slid right off. Be careful the spring doesn't get away from you. I found a tiny phillips head screw in there.

I had a huge dead spider and an egg case and it's wad of silk inside one of my mags. I bought a batch of used 4506 mags and one of them was very hard to load and the follower kept hanging up, so I took it apart and found the spider and other crud inside. I wonder how a spider that big could have gotten inside in the first place. It's body was about a half inch across and about 3/4" long. My only guess was the mag was apart when it went inside. Other than that, the only thing I've found inside mags has been pieces of followers, all of them S&W factory mags.
