Teenage metal detector trawling Somerset river stumbles across hidden cache of 40 'IRA' weapons including 'Widow Maker' rifle and Nazi machine gun | Daily Mail Online
From the UK:
Trawling through the water with a magnet, schoolboy James Cork had only expected a modest haul of scrap metal.
But, last week, the 16-year-old from Somerset stumbled across a rather more shocking discovery – a hidden cache of 40 deadly weapons.
The arsenal of rusting and grubby guns dating back to the Second World War included a Browning .50 machine gun, which could take down a helicopter, and an M16 assault rifle.
An expert has suggested the guns may have belonged to the IRA and could have been dumped when they were meant to be declaring their arms in 2001.
