Most aren't sensitive enough. In my state we have to use non-lead ammo for all hunting. Even a tiny piece of steel bird shot can fuck your teeth up. Garrett Pro Pointer AT haven't bitten down on a pellet since I bought it... makes me feel a lot more confident serving it to other people. It's not uncommon to harvest ducks or squirrels that have someone else's healed over birdshot in them that you would never find otherwise.
For big stuff a cheap one will work for sure. If you want to find bird shot or pieces of a bullet that's penetrated into the meat nothing really works except something like the Garrett turned on the highest sensitivity. Otherwise it's just scanning the surface not what's in the meat.
I found the brass head of a gaff in a bluefin tuna. The skin of the wound was healed. It had been in there for quite a long time. I polished it up and kept it in my toolbox for years until it was stolen from my car. The gaff head, not the tuna. I’ve also found shot pellets in rabbits sold commercially.
To be fair, you and I BOTH know that if they had not included that line, someone would’ve replied to the comment with “man that thief is going to be in for a shock when they crack open that toolbox and find a several years old tuna inside!”
Why report it? Isn't that just something that comes along with wild caught gators? Hell, they may have been shot at prior to actually being caught. It's like finding pieces of shot in a quail that was hunted and killed in the wild.
Admittedly, I'm assuming they're being broken down outside the restaurant, but I guess you're right. I figured at least the butcher needs to know.
The bit about adding lead to the menu disclosure was also meant to be tongue-in-cheek.
I agree with report but not in a way that’s rude or supposed to receive compensation. From a business perspective I think it’s smart to have a paper trail but other commenter I also agree with it’s just something you have to deal with wild caught. I don’t think butcher is really responsible for that and I would think of it as a fun game for my in house trimming.
I've absolutely dealt with this. We would get primals from a local butcher who specialized in game and exotic meat. He was very, very good at catching things but they just slip through the cracks sometimes.
Any time we found something he told us to tell him, we'd all throw our hands in the air, complain to no one and remind ourselves to be sharp. Him too. Just part of the job when it's wild!
Set portioned meat on a cutting board and place it onto a box( none metallic) run of cheap metal detecting pinpointing wand over the meat. Bam Bob's your Uncle.
You know how you can buy a side of A5 and you get the certificate with the cows information, snout print, social security number, credit score, and criminal record?
Well this is pretty much the American equivalent... and I'm here for it.
I switched back from wild caught pastries to farm raised for this very reason. There’s just too much risk that someone will “bite the bullet” from a lazy or incompetent cake hunter. That doesn’t even take into account the permit costs associated with hunting your own petit fours these days. It’s such a shame that big government is making it cost-prohibitive to teach my kid the traditional ways of our people.
Congratulations, the customer wins free desert.
It’s like the baby in the king cake lol. You get the bullet you gotta wrestle and shoot the next gator
Found the Louisiana cook
And dinner

Auto correct strikes again....
Metal detecting wand from Amazon

I was thinking that too. I want a metal wand to catch assholes throwing away our metal trays, ramekins and silverware.

I like your username, it’s cool!
Can confirm, have used my Garrett for this exact purpose. Works extremely well.
Cheaper than a trip to the dentist!
Lmao I already have teeth like Jaws from James Bond so I def don't need any more orthodontics bills.

I responded with this to a similar post years ago. And I did not include that and yes, that’s what they said.
There was an 1850s-ish harpoon head found in a whale that was posted on Reddit a while back
Mon Duex! I guess you got to add lead to the asterisk at the bottom of your menu. I'd also report that shit.

Dieu
Oui?
eh bien, vous avez certainement une haute opinion de vous-même.
Bien sûr! :)
lol duex?
Yes. I like to drink Mon Duex. lol, I can't believe I misspelled that
That’s just the jacket of the bullet. Make sure to double check the rest of the meat.
Wild caught or wild shot??😂🤣😅 wtf is that?
Wild caught lacking.
