GUN Stash Uncovered While Magnet Fishing - Best Day Of Magnet Fishing Ever 

They’re actually from the bean head of a combine

​@@alankessel8891gvb

Combine blades. Maybe a bucket of old blades fell off a truck..I don’t think they would have dumped them. That’s good scrap metal and every farmer has a scrap pile

Knives? You mean blades?

I wasn't sure which (if any particular) but did recognize those header knives as what they are. Also immediately recognised the bearing too. 3.40 might be what we call "welsh plugs" here in Australia. They're those metal caps you put a dash of loctite around then drive into an engine block to seal the holes they needed to cast the block. I've never noticed one that big before though, it's got the right shape but possibly a big diesel maybe?

@@lorditsprobingtime6668 Camshaft bore plug.

@@myfavoritemartian1 Thanks, that sounds like exactly the sort of thing I was thinking, just usually used in for the externals to seal the coolant into the blocks.

@@lorditsprobingtime6668 not needed to cast the block,,,,but they are water jacket freeze plugs,,,,,hopfully if water freezes in the block, these weaker plugs will be pushed out by the ice and save the block from being split by pressure of the ice inside,,,,freeze plugs,,,,

@@bill45colt Ah, thanks, that makes sense. I'm in Australia and I don't think we use, or need that sort of thing here. I have seen the damage freezing can do to engine blocks from watching channels like Barum Engines in England where they do get a lot colder.

Exactly

also found on the front of combine harvesters

Yup swather blades. Installed several over three years cutting hay and straw as a teenager.

@@oldfart2413 also a sickle bar mower.

Cutting knife of a grain head.

I think the main reason people don't swim around here is bc of the alligators lol. I'm sure hiding stuff is easy in this water bc I haven't seen it any kind of clear yet. Rains all the time too

@@blakecantswim On man you're right! The alligators! 😬😨😱

Since flesh eating bacteria you better be careful where you swim.

Wow! No way? I guess that explains why I don't see anyone in the water ever. @@whopperdad22

Did you look up cat fish skinners""" so he"ll know what they are"

We have been looking into that, but dead ends so far. They never call back

Shape says it's from crank . Controls end play.

​@@roadking99jokerst60thrust bearings only have a lip on one side. It's probably a main bearing but still like my original comment it's probably from the same engine the rod and piston are from.

@@pressinpickle345 Pickle calls it correctly. Amazing what's in the water. There are folks that create "Art" from iron and findings. Be well.

6 has been the record for about 4 months, and we found 8 this time. That's going to be really hard to top in the future unless we find a safe full. Bobby was so excited he found those. I mainly find the average round nails. I do look for the square heads but I've only found a few. I'll be sure to hang onto them. My pockets are usually full of little finds at the end of the day 😂

Do you have to turn them in?

@Kelly Years some guns we do and some we don't. The police departments where we are now aren't interested in the old rusted guns. Most of what we find are too old to use or hold any evidence, so they are just trash

Knife looks like a K-Bar folding hunter. If so that’s a find.

@@blakecantswim those old rusted guns can be restored. My dad bought a 49 ford and in the trunk was an easy Europe 7.69 all rusted up. 20 years after he and his brother cleaned it up it was my first deer hunting rifle. Open sight brought down a few bucks and does. Does were control permits.

He can hardly see now 😂 happy Easter

They suck! you can't access the breech for cleaning, so you have to push all that gunk into the action.

It makes you wonder. No one throws away perfectly good guns. Kinda startling how many are in there if we assume all were used in shootings

I would have expected that would have been one of the first things to do - as you say, there's only one reason people throw away firearms into a river - and it ain't good! Even if it helped the Police close just one case, it would have been worth the call. Rem, remember they will have been dumped over a number of years, and when you consider how many firearm related crimes occur, in just one year*, the USoA it really isn't that surprising if a criminal, or several criminals, used the river as a dumping spot. For example, averaging more than on4e mass shooting a day so far this year - and that's not counting several times as many armed robberies, single shooting, gangs, etc, that may not have even been reported.

@@gordowg1wg145 , I've seen police dump them.......

If the gun doesn’t have any visible numbers k but they won’t give it to the police because it’s pointless but sometimes they find guns that are good and keep them so I don’t know

i know there blades for the bar . . because i had to replace them each year whe i got the bar ready to cut hay each year .

Have replaced dozens of them , on the haybine

It was lost in the pile... I forgot to set it aside, unfortunately. I wanted to keep it, but I get sidetracked easily lol

We continue to search every day so it's only a matter of time before we find something else really cool

@@blakecantswim praying for that to happen

They still use the same kind of teeth today on haybines, grain heads etc.

12 gauge shells are by no means waterproof, the powder will be wet like mud. They'll never go off even if the primer does.

Tractor steering shaft, w/broken spindle thread.

That's what I was thinking due to the size of the nails. I guess they just dumped the old bridge in the river and built over it

At least one person knew what they are.

Somebody was cleaning out the shop and didn't want to drive to the dump. I appreciate the education. I'm constantly learning more bc of yall schooling me lol

That bridge is the first stop after a drive by shooting!

Welcome to the shit show 😂😂

Watching all y'all's videos gives us a more in-depth view of the days you go magnet fishing. Are you going to put a camera on Kyle too?

@Rick Leasure kyle is wanting to film his restoration process of our finds we keep. He comes on the road just to take a break and have fun.

Appreciate the like

It's going to be a hard record to top in the future
