Good idea Chick.
Looks like you'll have to hit some beaches to get the lead count up.

Good idea Chick, I just deposit my trash, which mainly consists of pulltabs & bottle caps, in the trash cans at the beach before I leave.

Hey Chick looks like a good set up. I will have to do the same thing. It all adds up in the end. Hope you get some good $$ outta it, Beale.

Unfortunately, Bermuda has no recycling facilities so everything just goes out to the landfill which makes the airstrip longer, truckload by truckload. I get a lot of lead, often in good size sheets so it would add up quickly. It should work well for you though, Chick. The Excal doesn't need batteries, just plug in and recharge, but at least you could buy yourself a soda on a hot day of hunting for free. Something about free just tastes sweeter.

Cheers Bud,

BDA
