What if you found a Barrel of Fire Arms berried as Destroyed.
This Question came up on a metal detecting forum.
Say a person was out metal detecting and found a 50gl barrel of Fire Arms some law agency documented as destroyed. What would be the legal status said fire arms. Could I peace meal sell the parts? Could I take legal possession of the None Destroyed Fire Arms? |

I doubt a law enforcement agency would bury firearms anyplace it would be legal for you to dig. Otherwise, look up local law on what to do with a found firearm.

Only ones I have seen destroyed have been welded so they can't be fixed then welded into modren art sculptures or just melted down and used as recycled steel.. If you found a barrel of them they were derailed from the smelter and are stolen or are someones private stash.

An interesting question. I doubt you would be able to keep them as they would be seized as evidence of a crime. (Falsifying official documents.) I know what I would do, but the mods wouldn't like me saying it as it's not the "legal" thing to do.

I don't see this as useful. Berry, berry, sorry but closed.
