delburt0 Posted October 7, 2013 Report Share Posted October 7, 2013 Airport +1 I have a mental detector but it has a 12" coil so by the time you have dug it out it would be like a bag of mince, have you thought about a strong magnet . .

happy.plinker Posted October 7, 2013 Report Share Posted October 7, 2013 Anyone know if lead and steel shot passes through you eventually or does the body absorb it somehow ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
karpman Posted October 7, 2013 Report Share Posted October 7, 2013 Could use one of them wands the detector boys use I suppose. They work upto a couple of inches. If you google garret wand or similar should give you a hit. Karpman Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kent Posted October 8, 2013 Report Share Posted October 8, 2013 I use one. Little wizard 2 from Bushwear (its not infallible) Steel shot isn't funny if you bite down on it your tooth will break before the shot crushes. Best move is cut the meat up to thin slices check in the normal way by hand / eye then wrap the detector in a sandwich bag (coz you cant wash them) and give the meat another check over. Given up to full birds as even if you find no shot holes on plucking it don't mean it hasn't get an old one now healed over, yes the last tooth I chipped revealed a small steel shot (far smaller than I use) in the leg area of a goose Its far cheaper than a visit to the dentist Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

anser2 Posted October 8, 2013 Report Share Posted October 8, 2013 (edited) Anyone know if lead and steel shot passes through you eventually or does the body absorb it somehow ? My frather had problems a few years ago when he went in for a bowl opperation. The Xrays found a cluster of lead shot in his appendix. You do not want your body to absorbe lead shot or you will suffer from lead posioning. Edited October 8, 2013 by anser2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I also am lead to believe that some non-toxic shot are less than good in your system Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
