Interesting dive on Saturday morning at Lilli Pilli Baths in Port Hacking on the southern side of Sydney. As well as sea horses, an anglerfish, wobbegong shark and lots of species of fish, I found a container of bullets and then after a search, the corresponding .303 rifle. The barrel and stock had been cut off, but it still worked. I suspect that it has only been in the water a very short time. Remember, guns are very rare in Australia!
I then went to the police station to hand it in. I certainly did not take it into the police station, no way was I going to walk in with a gun and ammunition!
Later that day three police came to my home and got a statement.
Sunday morning I came out after another dive to find a message from police divers. They were at the site and wanted directions as to where I found the gun etc. They were searching for the rest of it I assume.
Most interesting thing I have found in 34 years of diving.
