Kids are good and they can pick up a lot...but at least mine aren't so good at sorting or avoiding the junk.
I still haven't found anything better than a pair of knee pads though.

I went with the dillon branded nut wizard - I'm liking it, though just like any tool there's some quirks to figure out in it's use. .mil discount made it on par with other known quality options out there, so I figured may as well get some spare parts for free out of the deal while I was on the phone.
I'm an indiscriminate brass picker, aluminum, steel, you name it. Mostly because I'm tired of nobody cleaning up their cases, brass rats (me!) are only going for what they can use, and our ranges are looking like crap because of it.
Additionally, having the toss-away cases in the wet tumbler act like media on the first go around and help make things more usable.
Maybe keeping a bucket of aluminum would make it worth while at the scrap yard, but we'll see if I get tired of looking at it first. Having a clean range it does make me enjoy it more.

the range safety guy, picks them for me, he gives me the brass form the other shooters too.
I'd rather not deal with the public ranges
A few members at the club have seen me use mine or tried it, and are sold. Far from perfect, but good enough is all that's really needed.

My boy is a dab hand at brass collecion, he can ID most of the useful suff and is grateful for the pocket money supplement it generates.
I haven't read through the whole thread so if its already been said excuse the repeat but what about multiple battery powered shop vac's?

If you have an electric available you could just use a typical shop vac maybe put it on a cart or possibly a dolly with air filled tires that could easily be pulled over uneven terrain.

I'll wager you a PF dollar™ 😎
The lunatics are running the asylum
That's certainly an unmentioned, and plausible way of doing it! Maybe when I'm shooting open class or making a decent side hustle with brass - right now the juice isn't worth the squeeze at this point :-)
The only other thing to consider is 3 of our 6 bays are wood chip/grass (smaller width, but deeper), so I don't think it would work too well there. But the compacted dirt ones would probably work out well.
I do love new tools, but right now that money is on hold - good thought!
