Although I don't reload yet, I've saved all my spent brass for when I eventually get reloading equipment.
I would only recover a portion of my spent brass - probably half of it - because it would just get lost in the grass. However, I found a very inexpensive ($15) metal detector at Target, and it really works! It's marketed under the National Geographic name. Little more than a toy, intended for children, but it's great for finding spent brass. With a little practice it's easy to discriminate between .22 and something larger. Home in on a spot, feel with your fingers, et voila!
Not only does my daughter enjoy using it to find "lost treasure" (i.e. unusual coins I scatter around ) I now recover nearly 100% of my spent brass.
You don't have to invest a lot of money in a metal detector. This thing really works.
