Garret Pinpoint for tungsten?

[Hem]

Anybody have feedback on using one of the Garret Pinpoint detectors for tungsten shot? Shot a turkey with some TSS 7/9 shot a few days back.
The 9's are sneaky small.

No experience, but following.

Been thinking about grabbing detector for a while now but haven't.

In the mean time, good luck and chew lightly.

Do a search on Oldgobbler.com. There have been some good discussions in the past on this topic.

I’ve been handholding TSS for the past 10 years and keep going back and forth on continuing for the simple reason of I love eating wild turkey and despite tight patterns and head shots, pellets sometimes make it into the meat and can be very hard to find due to not leaving a wound channel or pulling feathers into the meat like larger lead or Hevi shot.

yes, it will work. but you have scan SUPER thoroughly. if a pellet is more than inch deep, it can be Hard to detect. never shot 9s, but have shot 8.5s and 8s for over a decade. I dropped to 8s because of the pellets in meat issue.

one thing I do to help is label the packages. if I know theres several shot in breast, ill label it as "cut up" and know to spend a lot of time scanning. if I suspect no or very few pellets, ill label it accordingly.

Im more worried about others biting into shot than me. wife has already chipped a tooth. so if im cooking turkey, im always taking the time to scan it.

I think I'm going to shift gears next year and try some larger TSS.
The 7/9 mix is too risky, even though the pellet channels are still identifiable.
Pretty amazing the amount of mass the 9's pass through.
