Bell’s metal detector failed to find the bullet because Garfield’s room was equipped with another brand-new invention to make him more comfortable: a steel-innerspring mattress.
Bell did not invent the first metal detector, Gustave Trouvé, a Frenchman did in 1874, 7 years earlier. Bell was trying to duplicate Trouvé’s invention. See: https://softschools.com/inventions/history/metal_detector_history/376/ and also https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Metal_detector .
There are bigger snowflakes out there. Just look at any political blog site.
A.G. Bell invented something that has many uses. The most typical is the beach treasure hunter phenom which has reunited lots of valued items with their owners.
Is there an actual picture of this 15 inch snowflake? I’ve known about it since I was a kid but every time I hear of it there is some picture of a big cartoon snowflake instead of an actual photo. I seriously doubt it was a perfect hex-crystal like it’s depicted, it was probably an amalgam of a bunch of smaller crystals interlocked together looking more like a flat snowball than anything else.

If I’m not mistaken, I think they are referring to the Neptune Society. Every once and a while, I receive mail from them.

I thought the largest “snowflakes” were in Florida in the winter. About 5’9" and 175 pounds.

I assume President Garfield was already dead, or the wait for metal detector development would have killed him.

I wonder whether they tried to preserve the snowflake. I would warn them not to use hot wax.

It doesn’t say whether or not, the bullet was found or not.
