Abandoned gravel pits and rock quarries are where a lot of people go to shoot guns and most of them leave their brass on the ground. I have a retired friend that knows where all these areas are around the town he lives in. So every couple weeks he takes a day and goes brass picking. Until he found out that I reload he would take it to the metal recyclers and get cash for the collection.
Now he gives me a couple 5 gallon buckets a year. I have to sort it out and clean and clean and clean it all before reloading. I only use this for practice and making loud noises... I sell some to friends for the same purpose. By the way, cleaning got a lot easier after I bought an Isonic ultra sonic cleaner from Amazon, 2.1 quart with a heater for $100 with free shipping.
