It is interesting that with the ammo shortages, anything even gets left at all. Not like back in the Great Recession, when it was hard to find a stray piece, much less pounds of brass. And, yes, I've seen folks digging lead out of the berms, too. Good for them.

I mine the berm at my personal range. Melt and cast. Some the same lead may have been down the barrel two or three times.
