GLOCK magazine with 9 hollow points found in the sand.

[night crusader]

At the local spot today and Im given a tip to swing over around by these fire pits. Less then five minutes later and 6 inches down out pop s a 12 round Glock magazine. Lucky me because I have a wealth of knowledge when it comes to firearms being a Marine.Just to think if some kids got ahold of it. So I brought it to the lifeguard and they called the sheriffs to come grab it. FIRST FOR EVERYTHING lately. Thanks for the read and HH. OH YEAH the magazine belonged to some VIPs bodyguard WAIT HE SURE DID DROP THE MAGAZINE ON THIS ONE����

Hmm..mag full of live rounds next to a fire pit? Good thing you found before the next weiner roast!

 

[GaRebel1861]

I'd of kept it!

 

[toolmanbutch]

Why did you turn it in? Its total value is around $49.00. Now a Sherriff has it for personal use.

Congrats you did the right thing

 

[Terry Soloman]

That would have gone right in my pocket! But you Marines are different, and that's cool. Go Army!

 

[night crusader]

Would have held on to it but it had a nice tear on the inside from when I sliced it digging in deep with my scoop. OH YEAH!! GLOCK is not my brand of choice I prefer Smith&Wesson or Kimber any day. Not worth anything but some hastle to hold on to a few rounds. Thanks trapperart

 

[port ewen ace]

talk about dropping a load____ in NY you would be a violent felon just for having that assault mag. we have the SAFE ACT----only criminals are allowed to have deadly weapons

 

[ScubaDetector]

Even if in the fire pit, you would hear bangs like fire crackers and maybe get hit by a hot shell casing but nothing more. Good find. I would have kept it.

Lucky you didn't hit it with your digging tool that would have been a blast Thanks for the post!!!!!!

You are likely correct but you don't want to be a Fireman that enters my' home if it ever catches on fire!

I don't want to take away from his thread, however a lot of misconceptions are out there with bullets and fire. This is a great video to watch.



Firefighters ALL get trained and KNOW THIS. So do cops.

ScubaDetector,

Thanks for the video and info, it was enlightening to say the least! They did say that the video does not address loaded firearms which will discharge during a fire. Due to my previous help to the Federal Marshall's Service which put my' life and my' family's lives at risk and which continues even today, I keep a lot of ammo around and have a large array of weapons...most of which are loaded except during cleaning or during transport on the way to the Firing Range or Hunting. Due to this, the Fire Department would likely evacuate most of the residents in my neighborhood and just let my' home burn to the ground. It is a good thing I no longer reload my' ammo because at one point in time, I had enough reloading powder and primers to level my' home and severely damage several others, if my' home ever caught on fire.

Good thing he didn't drop it in the fire pit when the fire was burning! Sheeeeze.
Congrats it certainly was unusuall find!

 

[G.I.B.]

Fresh drop. I'd keep it.

Let the Sheriff buy their own with your tax dollars.

So what if some kid got a hold of it? What's the problem? They won't just go off without the rest of the gun.

And tossing rounds in a fire is pretty exciting, but not deadly.

Nice valuable find, if you would have kept it.

A LOADED firearm in a fire will fire ONE bullet that could be deadly, if a semi auto. That would be the one in the chamber. A revolver the same but the others could blow the gun apart and some lead come out the cylinders.

I am all for bullet and firearm safety. That is why I help others with misconceptions. The OP did what he felt he needed to with the magazine. I would have kept it.

The fire video reminded me of this 12 gauge shell I found long ago, in a big burnt area by some railroad tracks.... The fire was just hot enough to melt the shell, but not set it off. I keep it just to show people how hard it actually is to accidentally set off ammunition....

When I find old rusty magazines in the water i just leave them there, in my area they are as common as rocks. Little gun-shaped concreations of metal are also very common in my hunting areas - all saturday night specials from the 1970's and 80's mostly - completely concreted. TONS of them. Old rusty guns everywhere I don't even bother taking them they're so many.

I am sorry but believe you are wrong about a semi-auto in a fire! As long as the weapon's action is still able to work in chambering a round, it can continue to go off if the barrel gets hot enough. While in the U.S. Army, I have seen many automatic weapons cook off more than just one round when the barrel or barrels got too hot and semi-auto reloading weapons will do the same.
