Had a weird call at a house in Springfield last month that made me change my drill bit check

I was putting in a new panel at a house and went to drill through a stud. My bit hit something hard and just stopped. I pulled it out and the tip was gone. The homeowner said the last guy must have left a nail in there from some old work. Now I always run a stud finder with a metal scan first, even if I think I know where to drill. Anyone else run into hidden metal like that?

Sounds a bit over the top to me, Mia592.
