Arthur Lampitt didn’t know he had an object inside him until he walked through a metal detector.
The strange story was first reported by the St. Louis Post-Dispatch.

After getting an X-ray, doctors found a piece of metal the size of a pencil wedged in his left arm. But since it didn't cause him any pain, doctors recommended he leave it.
The father of four's arm didn't begin to hurt until he was moving concrete blocks a few weeks ago while renovating an apartment.
"Everything was fine until it started to get bigger," Lampitt's wife, Betty, said. "The arm started bulging."
