I've been using my Garrett pin pointer for a couple of years for searching for shot, but still, look, and feel. Found six pellets the other day, and only one today.  I bought it to use with my metal detector, but searching for shot after grouse and pheasant hunting this time of year. Just to make sure.
There are only so many sunrises left.

I only find a couple a year after cooking, but those couple aren't good as I get a bit overconfident since it's so rare.  The detectors are only $99 for some of them so it may be a cool thing to have, even for some big game meat around the shot area if the bullet comes apart.

Anybody try one of the cheaper amazon ones? I've been eyeballing this one on sale.

I always breast fillet my birds and chase any hole I see looking for feathers and shot.
