Should I use my metal detector to detect a coin swallowed by a child?

A few weeks back I got an email from someone asking if I could scan her son. Apparently he had swallowed a dime, and they were not sure if it passed. Her doctor offered to give him an X-ray but she declined, not wanting to expose the boy to unnecessary rays. I told her that if he had cramps she should take him to the ER, but otherwise I would not worry.

Yesterday I got another email from her asking if I would mind "scanning" her son. She is willing to pay me to do it. (I doubt I would accept any payment). I don't mind doing it, if I don't detect anything and then later on he has complications due to a coin that he may have subsequently swallowed, I may open myself up to legal action.

What is your opinion?

Yes , you can use a detector to find it , but don't use a Lesch tool to remove it. Let nature take it's course.

The titanium screws in my wife's knee, sounds really pretty on my Etrac.
