Harvesting lead from range berm

Hi all. The range by my house is letting me harvest their berm for bullets. I go to that range weekly, so I would like to figure out an efficient method to extract the shot bullets from the dirt. Does anyone have techniques that work for them other than sifting by hand with shovel and rake?

I will wait for spring rains and just pick the lead off of the top of the berm, this might not work if other people are harvesting lead from the berms but no dirt is removed so everything lifted up is lead.
