Weird question.
What is the best method to mine berms and how much do you usually get in weight in how much time?
I use a shovel and a sieve table I made from some 2x4s, wire mesh and an old card table that the middle fell out of.
How
much lead I get entirely depends on how much folks have been shooting.
At the pistol berms I can pretty much just scoop up lead off the ground
because the berm is so packed with it.
On average I get 200-400lbs before I get bored and go home, so maybe 100lbs/hr in collection+processing time?

And how does the rangemaster feel about someone working with a shovel down on the 100 yard berm?
I'm one of the rangemasters/RSOs and I feel quite fine with it, since I only mine the lead when no one is using the range.
Also I've only bothered with the 100yd berm once, since the pistol berms have way more lead for almost no effort (and not having to carry lead 100yds, since no wagon or way to get my truck near the berm).
