Here's an interesting item sent to me by Fine Homebuildng's publisher, Tim Schreiner.

I've never been one to repost other people's content, but since this is homebuilding related, I thought the above would be of interest to our readers. In short, this fellow was getting an MRI test when he felt a severe pain in his nose. Turns out the magnetic force from the MRI revealed a rusty nail to the man and his doctors, who subsequently removed the rusty piece of metal from his face.

So that's where that nail went.

PS: Note that it "could have" been there for "up to" 30 years.
