Visiting Jacksonville Florida is like stepping into a different world compared to where I live.
Found this gun at the pier in the water about waist deep. It's serial number reveals it's not stolen. That's all I know about it.
As you can see the barrel has been ground off.
It was in much worse shape when found. Larry cleaned it up some.
We will be turning it in when Jacksonville does their next gun buy back program where they give you 50 dollars per gun turned in, no questions asked.
This was found on a weekend day when the beach was jam packed full of people. When I dug it up I thought I was digging a phone. I got it out of the hole and saw a dark out line on the side of the hole so bent down and picked it up in the slightly cloudy water and instantly knew it was a real gun by the weight of it. Without looking at it I quickly put it in my pouch then went to find Larry who was about about a quarter mile down the beach. I was so afraid it would shoot me in the thigh We then went to the jeep to check it out. Turns out it had no clip and no bullet in the chamber.
Browning 22 Caliber Semi-Automatic pistol
UPDATE!!
Today my friend Billy detected around the spot where I found the gun last Sunday and successfully found the loaded clip and gave it to me. Thanks Billy!! Pics of clip added...
