@Al Sacchetti--do you know if the button battery is dense enough to alert the metal detector?? CXR can sort of tell if there's a lucency and if the swallowed object is a coin vs button battery.

Of note, a 3rd technique not discussed in the management options of swallowed foreign bodies is the esophageal bougienage for coins.
