I have helped a friend of mine, mine it out of the ground at a private range. I don't use it because it is not pure lead but Last year, we smelted in excess of 250LBS. We smelt it all, even jacketed bullets.
I'm still working on a bunch of pure lead that I got from a retired plumber. If you have access to a foundry, talk to one of those folks as there are times they get in scrap pipe and sheets of pure lead.
Be Safe !!!
