That’s what my driveway is beginning to look like after shooting rimfire all winter.

Wonder why they don't recycle it. Scrap brass shell price is $2 a pound.

Pic is from 1946… so scrap value at today’s rate would be about $0.14 per pound. for what it is worth, they were not too concerned about recycling scrap WW2 materials, except maybe aluminum aircraft. Sadly….

Re: Acres of brass?
Like John said that was '46.
I'll bet it was just buried like all the tanks, jeeps and other equipment was when they left.
Which was a much better action than, like the last time our military left stuff behind a couple years ago.
