Swallowed a round ball!

[Riggleman]

While at work my girlfriend calls me to tell me my 18 month old daughter choked and swallowed something. So I begin freaking out and ask her what it was. My girlfriend goes on to tell me she was on our picnic table when it happened. I instantly told her it was either a penny or a .50 cal round ball that I had found a few days prior. She goes on to tell me she cant find the ball or penny. I grab my pin pointer out of my truck and drive my cruiser to my house. When I checked her belly sure enough the Garret Pro Pointer located something metal in her little belly. So I have to go back to work and try to find someone to cover my sift. Meanwhile my girlfriend starts packing for the emergency room. When she gets there she tells the receptionist what happened. Everyone in the ER treats the situation like it's never happened before. Apparently no one has ever swallowed a .50 cal round ball. So the x-ray revealed a perfect round white ball in her little tummy. So she was referred to a bigger Hospital 2 hours away and now here we are setting in a room waiting for her to poop it out. I've tried to attach the Pro Pointer video. I'll attach x ray pics when I get home and also pics of the recovered ball. So lessons learned. Put your finds up away from small children. Watch your children. And teach your children not to put .50 cal round balls in their mouths.

That is definitely one to hang onto to show at family gathering for centuries to come. Glad she is fine and you recovered your bounty.

This should be a banner. That is great. Just hope the liberals do not find out about it or MDing and Guns will be on the chopping block.
