Hey I was wondering if anyone knew of a way to retrieve a gun from the bottom of a pond with out having to go swim for it.
My friends mom threw his dads gun in his pond and said if I can get it out i can have it. Any suggestions? |

fishing pole + Magnet  Agreed. With as many boating accidents as have been going on lately, I got one of these to try my luck. |
|
This is what I was thinking. SCUBA would be another option. How deep is this pond? What type of gun? How long has it been in the water? |
|
The water is only about 6' deep the problem is its in a pond that doesnt flow a whole lot of water and it was about
2 feet of leaves in it which makes it almost impossible to sweep a magnet across the bottom. And I already went swimming for about half an hour and found nothing its about 45 degrees |

You could always do what these guys are doing

Attach the rope to your friends mom, have her hold the magnet, push her in the pond till she picks it up with the magnet then pull her in. |

60x40x5, its the size of a large garage and only 5 ft deep?
buy a 8" diameter PVC pipe about 4ft long. $15 get a roll of clear celophane. wrap it tight at the bottom and make sure the "ends" are either watertight or at the top. get a bright flashlight. as you walk in the water, shine the flash light into the pipe, and as long as water doesnt get into the pipe, you can see the bottom. only the bottm of the pipe needs to have the clear celophane, the top is open. My buddy has a 10" diameter one he made with clear plastic, for when he drops shit while fly fishing. |

From what I keep reading about in the news if you take some innocent person and tie them up at the ponds edge the gun will crawl out itself just to shoot them. Medias always going on and on about guns killing people. You need to use little kids for that to work. |

40'x60'?
That's not a pond, that's a puddle. Order some SCUBA gear... a basic set up will cost you around $550 for everything. Then a certification class should run you about $250. After that, you shouldn't have much trouble finding the pistol. You gotta spend money to make money. |
