MIAMI (AP) — A man went fishing with his grandson in Florida and found more than they were looking for.
They pulled two .50-caliber Barrett sniper rifles out of a canal near Miami. Duane Smith says he saw a YouTube video on magnet fishing and wanted to try it with his 11-year-old grandson.
They dropped a 5-pound magnet in the canal it went straight to the guns.
Smith called Miami-Dade police and officers took the weapons, which had their serial numbers filed off.
A detective told the Miami Herald that they’ll try to determine if they were used in a crime.
