I've been scrounging lead from backstops for years and yes after a good rain they are usually sitting on the surface. I separate the jacketed from the lead and use the lead mixed for casting bullets for my smokeless guns and the jacketed ones melted down and skimmed of their jackets produce a very soft lead that works well in my B/p guns.
