Help finding shot in meat?
Had our first meal of TSS shot turkey and was wondering if there is an easy way to locate the shot in the meat. I had little trouble with the larger lead shot as I could locate almost all of it before cooking but it seems the smaller TSS shot is incredibly hard to see in the meat. Ideas needed!

If I find shot holes in the breast, I cut the breast in thin strips looking for bloodlines which I cut out. Usually, so far, all have been complete pass throughs.

I cube it up and hit it with a meat hammer to flatten it out before I bread it. When you hit it with with the hammer any shot in it will pop out.

Re: Help finding shot in meat?
If I think shot is in the meat, I hold it in front of the kitchen light. You will see it in there as black spots. Little slice and push it out.

My strategy is to let the wife do it. Last time some shot go in the breast she said, between making remarks about my shooting ability, that she would have to slice that part thin and hold it up to the light.

I was wondering if anyone has ever tried one of those little 8" hand wand metal detectors, if they are sensitive enough to detect a #9 pellet.
Re: Help finding shot in meat?
I actually asked about that on a metal detecting forum and folks seemed to think that a pinpointer wouldn't pick up the small shot.

Our metal detector (full scale, not a pin pointer) can detect a single #9 TSS or #7 HWT at a few inches in all-metal mode. My TSS shot and the HWT shot are weakly magnetic.

Dentures work great. Break a tooth just grab some gorilla glue.

Try using a full copper jacketed bullet and maybe go to a bigger caliber.

Thats to bad, the hand wand would have to be cheaper then dental work.
I bit a Fed. HVWT #7 once, didn't break anything but it was like an electric shock to the brain.

Re: Help finding shot in meat?
I was eating a leftover chunk of filet mignon, at work, from the night before at our local supper club, and bit into a piece of lead shot. I’m guessing it was a 7 1/2 chill. Had a few buddies witness it. Talk about a surprise!! Pull a stinkin BB out of a hunk of steak. No guff!

May I assume you're not here to inquire about the alcohol or the tobacco?
