I'm always picking up useable range brass, but I always clean it really well, then examine it closely, verify headstamps. Etc.

I've been a range scrounger my whole life, too. But I'm a careful one.
Brass that passes spot inspection at the range is tumbled clean and inspected. Then run thru a universal decapping die and inspected again.
The worst problem I've ever had with a range scrounging is smaller brass sticking inside larger stuff, like a 32 ACP sticking inside a 45 ACP, but that's easily remedied.

You guys are lucky. Around here the range owners sell the brass to a salvage company at about a grand per 55gal barrel, sorted down to just brass. That was three of four years ago, do not know what the current price is since the Chinese went to a copper based currency.
