Tried to find the bullet in President Garfield I do believe. Year 1881 Story goes he would have found it, but the mattress had metal springs.
Wonder if any of the new models we have could have found the bullet. Heinrick Wilhelm Dove invented the first detector.Bell used his principles adapted for hand held device.

Fisher has in their logo advertisement that they were the first in metal detectors, etc... But that's not entirely true. They may be the oldest still existing company, but they were not the first. Or they may have been the first to patent it, but there were other types/attempts before them. Even in Fishers own Los Banos, CA museum, there is at least one crude detector from the 1920s (which is before Fisher started making/patented them). I don't recall the make of that wierd-looking one, it's capabilities, etc....
