Ooh, I remember reading this in a Bill Bryson book. When Garfield was shot, there were some bullets left in him. Alexander Graham Bell had invented a metal detector and used it to try to find the stray bullets. It failed, I seem to recall, because of the coil spring bed the President was lying on.
Is that it?
