MIAMI — A man and his 11-year-old grandson found a little more than they were looking for during a weekend fishing trip. The pair pulled two .50-caliber Barrett sniper rifles out of a canal near Miami.
Duane Smith told the Miami Herald he saw a YouTube video on magnet fishing and decided to give it a try on Sunday. They dropped a 5-pound magnet in the C-102 canal in southern Miami-Dade County.

Nothing like storing your rifle in salt water and mud at the bottom of a canal to enhance the finish, keep the action working smoothly, and preserve the accuracy of the rifle

The dude that hid them is going to go to the station and ask who turned in his illegal guns? The name of the guy who found them is in the article - Duane Smith. It isn't difficult to lookup his address.

Most likely, those rifles, if still useable, will end up in their armory.

Only a crime if they move them out of Florida.

I remember seeing one at a gun show once, it was quite the attention getter.
It was pretty cool.

Gee dropped in salt water I would assume any bore marks are gone due to rust. Yep how many died due to a .50 Cal hole?

Do you not understand the word ‘possession’?

Stainless steel, actually. Magnet wouldn’t attach.
