For gpg tin looks for pubring.gpg/pubring.kbx in $HOME/.gnupg, which is
the gpg default directory. For gpg this can be changed e.g. via
GNUPGHOME. If so, tin doesn't find the directory anymore.

Check $GNUPGHOME.

In addition, you can verify that gpg finds your key via

% gpg --list-secret-keys

This should print your key and in the very first line one can see the
location, on macOS this looks like this on my machine

| /Users/dennis/.gnupg/pubring.kbx
| [...]
