Looks like somebody went to the action pistol range and grabbed the easiest bullets out of thè backstop.

.....
Yeah looks like empty jackets.
If no lead in the jacket, then somebody was casting fishing lead and tossing the dross at the beach.
Guaranteed toxic waste. No go eat opihi from over there.

Zip, if you can, please enlighten the ssh guy about the sinister find.
We can nip this potential public relations nightmare in the bud.
Don't mention the toxic aspect of the dumping.

Hmmm, a lot of possibilities. Hard time believing a 9mm could reach Sandy's but near impossible for that many to all reach one area of sandy's.

If they were removing the lead I wonder if it was chronics/homeless? They use fire to burn insulation off of copper, maybe they harvest lead? Though the copper would be worth something too so no sense throwing that away.

Not impossible that some idiots went and popped off a bunch of rounds at Sandy's either.

============
The picture does appear to show empty jackets.
The lead core was melted out.... I use to do that when I started casting.
That stuff in the picture is exactly what remains.
Unfortunately the residual dust along with those copper jackets is ideal for lead poisoning. :thumbsup: :D

I see, but why discard the copper then? It isn't a lot but copper is worth money.

And what were you casting lead for? Fishing weights?

Probably because that much copper is not even worth the drive to the recycling place. Or they didn’t know. Could be a lot of reasons. However it seems very unlikely that someone went there to shoot a bunch of rounds at sandys and somehow all the lead miraculously came out.

Boolits are casted out of lead and for those that are more inclined cores can be made for bullets.

Being the objective and unassuming person that he is, he was simply verifying his guess.

You know what he guessed  .... "fishing weights."    Casting must have made him think of fishing.   :rofl: :rofl: :rofl:

My guess on SSH was fishing weights since it was found at Sandy Beach. Casting bullets in public areas in Hawaii is frowned upon. I was even once asked, "Aren't you afraid those bullets will explode?"

   As I cast my own fishing leads, I can't see smelting the lead out of bullets to be worth it.
Easier just to grab some balancing  lead laying around Lex  Brodies or some other auto shop.
Easier yet is to just dive for it. I can barely lift what I can gather out of the water in an hour from some fishing spots.

   I've seen bullets used as whipping leads, just drill a hole through them but as I cannot see the tips of the bullets, I cannot say that's what they were used for.
Was kind of "funny" as  a pic with handful and cup of bullets, not a single tip was visible.  ::).
