True story... Grad dad brought home a maxim machine gun from WW1. Put it up on a wall facing the lake. Machine gun laws came into effect and he got a visit from the (as dim memory recalls) secret service as he remembers it as it was before ATF. It was a few months before the tax stamp was required. Same agents showed up after the deadline. Grand dad said he threw it in the lake, they laughed and left.
It's still there, you got a good magnet and a way around the ATF?
F*** the magnet. I will dive for that.True story... Grad dad brought home a maxim machine gun from WW1. Put it up on a wall facing the lake.

If you send me the location, I will go find out.Nope... the mud there is 12 feet deep.
Do you need a magnet fishing license?
Not sure if that's a thing.If the guy had a LTC, I think he can petition the state to claim the Glock.
That would make a great project gun!
If he just wipes down the internal parts it would be good as new.
Personally, I'd go fishing for Babe Ruth's piano first.Circa late 1800's, Gen. Tom Thumb of Barnum fame was firing his cannon from a boat in Assawompsett. Being of small everything, he didn't quite understand Newtonian physics. Cannon fired and shot itself over the side of the boat. Lost to the lake forever.
I've been tempted to just drop a magnet while getting from one place to another to see if by dumb luck I could find it. How I'd raise it in a no-contact reservoir, I don't know. At the very least I could mark it and document it.
I see what you did there!If it was a mini Uzi would he have to throw it back?
No, they'd seize his magnet.If it was a mini Uzi would he have to throw it back?
The story made the Firearmblog.... Looks more like a Cobray M11 or MAC 10 than an UZI: TFB Gatfishing Tournament! Magnet Hunting To Recover Lost Gats
The only thing not in that photo is a Lynnfield PD seal.WOW...those are some great pics....I think I see Nessy AND Bigfoot!!!! Maybe the Jersey Devil and that 'goat eater' thing from Mexico too.
You want to try Beaver Pond in Franklin, Aaron Hernandez's crash pad was right down the street and they never found the murder weapon.
His fiancee disposed of the glock in what I assume was a small pistol safe hidden in a plastic trash bag.You want to try Beaver Pond in Franklin, Aaron Hernandez's crash pad was right down the street and they never found the murder weapon.

I'm assuming she wasnt aware of the crash pad until post SHTF
Anyone remember the 1960’s ads for magnet fishing showing a boy pulling up an outboard motor with the magnet the ad wanted to sell you?
This is the first time I’ve ever heard of someone actually magnet fishing.
Start at 1:30how big of a magnet to do you need to find Kennedy's cars with people in 'em?
people buy antique flint locks, and sometimes find they are loaded too...a little hard to tell...you have to measure the barrel on the outside and the inside, and see if there is a ball/powder distance discrepancy between the two.When I was a teenager I found a pellet rifle while snorkeling in a local pond.
Brought it home, wiped it down and started fooling around with it.
Damn thing was loaded, almost shot my eye out!
Oh, yeah, I remember, treat every gun as if it were loaded.
Haven't forgotten.
