I Found a Loaded Gun while Scuba Diving!!

[PaleoCris]

I'm still in shock a bit. I found a Glock 42 handgun in the river on my latest hunt. The gun was fully loaded and I contacted the authorities in regards to the find. As much as I'd like for this to help out with some unsolved crime, given the location, it was probably a tourist afraid of alligators. The gun was loaded, but the magazine was full. I also found a little GoPro (well, a generic one) that still works, and a bunch of other cool stuff. This was a short hunt....after I found the gun, I wasn't motivated to hunt for sunglasses much anymore!



For people who don't want to watch a vid:

Thanks for looking!

Thanks for all the comments folks!


It's my understanding that law enforcement cant even find out the owner of a gun unless it was involved in a crime and they send a request to the federal agency that keeps those records on file. Florida does not even do gun registration.

It's a big party spot and the water is black...sunglasses come off your head, they're gone.

I only briefly reviewed one out of the tons of clips on the cam. Everybody was speaking Spanish and I didnt recognize the place. The cam was found in a different location than the gun.

Thanks for the reply Be safe,enjoy your new toy.

Nice find on the weapon. Hope you find the owner.Congrats

Thanks! I think the best chance of that at this point is if the previous owner gets lucky, sees the vid and contacts me with the serial number and location it was lost.

Thanks!

I wish I could find a nice Glock pistol when I am out detecting. It sure would save time digging up damn dirty pennies to save up for one. This find ain't old or gold, but it sure is banner worthy.
