I've recently decided to try my hand at sifting for range scrap to cast plinking rounds and I'm running into issues separating the scrap from dirt.
I have a homemade sifter (basic 2x4 frame with wire mesh bottom). The issue is the dirt is clod filled and isn't loose enough for sifting. I'm trying to avoid picking scrap one by one. Any ideas for a simple system that can break down the clumps?
I haven't tested the dirt to see if it's has a heavy clay content. It could also be moist from the winter months and not dried out enough yet.
Any ideas you have would be appreciated.
Thanks
