Lead mining/recovery companies process the impact area down a few feet and separate the shot from the dirt and debris. Some companies melt and re-drop the shot. Some others will wash it, re-graphite it and sell it as reclaimed. New shot goes for $40-$50 for 25lbs bags, reclaimed goes for $20-$25 a bag. I shoot a lot of reclaimed shot.
