My best Shell Token

[Redd]

I found a Shell Token from one of my Hero's. Alexander Graham Bell. My mom worked for the telephone company for 30+ years.

" He also is credited with the invention of the metal detector in 1881. The device was quickly put together in an attempt to find the bullet in the body of US President James Garfield. The metal detector worked flawlessly in tests but did not find the assassin's bullet partly because the metal bed frame on which the President was lying disturbed the instrument, resulting in static.[106] The president's surgeons, who were skeptical of the device, ignored Bell's requests to move the president to a bed not fitted with metal springs. Alternatively, although Bell had detected a slight sound on his first test, the bullet may have been lodged too deeply to be detected by the crude apparatus.[106] Bell gave a full account of his experiments in a paper read before the American Association for the Advancement of Science (AAAS) in August 1882." (From the wikipidia site)

If it wasn't for AG Bell we might all be really bored right now.
