I went back to this spot today a fished for a little while before a medical appt.
I found a good fillet knife, another shotshell and 3 live 30-06 rounds along with some trash thats now in the bin instead of the waterways.

with me now finding a surprising amount of live ammo in there I’m wondering if there could be a gun as well? who knows but I’ll be back there soon trying to find out.

How the hell do you get 30-06 on a magnet???

old surplus ammo with I’m guessing steel cases.

Oh, ok.
I’m getting a bit worried about your spot, what with all the knives and live ammo!

I have only found fishing type knives but yes the ammo is alarming, especially seeing as this is a popular fishing and yabbying spot for kids.

Jesus mate you’ve found the most armed river in Vic :joy:

Tipping that title might go to the Yarra!

I’m tipping it will be a tin hat next week. :stuck_out_tongue_winking_eye:

Yep the Yarra would have to hold that most infamous title for sure. You may have to upgrade your magnet to pull the amount of cars that are in there. Then running through some of those inner Melbourne suburbs back in the day when they were the slum areas.

Back in the early-mid 80’s drought I did a walk along the Yarra riverbed through Richmond, pulled a solid 1930’s sidecar and chassis out along with some other bits and pieces, no guns (and I was looking). A fair few early car Chassis , lots of pushbikes and shopping trolleys were in the bottom. I reckon the Merri Creek or Maribyrnong river would maybe have more guns in them.


My new 400kg side pull magnet arrived today.
Pretty stoked :sunglasses:

This looks like some sort of bondage c*ck ring.


Seems its catching on everywhere.

Get on it, @GUN-DMC. Or everyone will fish everything out.

I wonder if you fish out a live round if you’d get charged for posessing live ammunition without a license :joy: ( if not a holder of a ’ weapons license ’ as they’re called in Qld )

How does a magnet attract ammunition? Neither brass, copper nor lead are magnetic.

I have found two shotshells and 3 live 30-06 rounds so far.
Steel heads on the shotshells and steel cased milsurp ammo.

@AusTac was it ADI 308s you had that where steel?
