If you applied a lot of paint to the head, the bolt shoulders may have not cut through the paint to provide a good enough ground , not providing as good a ground as you. Electricity always seeks the best,closest and easiest path to ground. Since you are testing in a barrel, Are your feet wet and standing on wet ground. I got a good zap with a timing light with wet feet.
Your shock may be a combination of the two possible scenarios causes.
