Found my 1st gun while diving for treasure under an old bridge at Lake Natoma! (Park Rangers Called)

Hey dude, do you have a backpacking coffee kit? If not, I'd like to gift you one in order to give you something warm to drink when you come out of the water, as a means of thanking you for cleaning up our waterways.

[@MermanMike]

Thank you so much! That would be amazing!! I do not have one but I am definitely a lover of coffee! That's super kind and thoughtful of you! Please feel free to send me a message on my Facebook page @mermanmike!

[@OriginalGabriel]

@@MermanMike done

[@xino_z]

Gabriel Frazee you are a good dude!! 😎🙌👌

[@MermanMike]

Agreed!

[@underratedserrated949]

Happy New Year you two! Keep the great dive videos coming in 2020!

[@MermanMike]

Happy New Years to you as well! Asolutely! Might even be getting a lot better of a metal detector for some better videos!

[@natashaphillips4625]

It’s funny how much more excited you were about the scooter. You’re silly

[@MermanMike]

Well at that point, I still wasn't 100% positive about the gun but I was definitely sure that I found a scooter!

[@natashaphillips4625]

Clean that bad boy up and you got a new mode of transportation 🤙🏼

[@Neptune730]

Yeah that rifle looked like it was a .22 caliber. Looked like it was mostly all there except for the stock. Nice find.

[@LAEDCSolutions]

Good work keep up the solid clean ups!

[@Monitiko]

Wow, so much treasure in one spot! Great video as always. Hope you come to Europe one day to explore our lakes and rivers.

[@MermanMike]

Thank you so much! I do too! The goal is to one day be able to travel all over the world to help return people valuables and clean up waterways! I could only imagine the treasures in the waters of Europe with all of it's history!

[@JoeLepler]

Wow.. all kinds of stuff to be found under water. Cool channel!

[@MermanMike]

My mind continues to be blown on every dive! lol

[@JoeLepler]

@@MermanMike Tougher the challenge, greater the reward... usually.. makes for great content!

[@MermanMike]

@@JoeLepler Thank you!

[@exploringwithamission]

Congratulations awesome finds green with envy 🐝 safe Dan

[@MermanMike]

Thanks man! One of these days we'll get to dive together and get all the treasure! lol

[@exploringwithamission]

Sounds good hope to be in the states 2021

[@eileenfindley1683]

You do great filming! Great personality for you tube! Pretty cool you acknowledge your beautiful girlfriend! I enjoy seeing all the stuff you find!

[@MermanMike]

[@MermanMike]

I'm glad you found it too! Thanks for watching and subscribing! I just added you to the giveaway that's happening at the end of the month! Good luck!

[@xino_z]

There is a young man missing in our area since New Years Eve, early am. Just fyi he was set to head out on the northern bike trail from I and 22nd to Natomas at 2:30 am. Sketchy story but it's in the national news. Might be good to be aware of it.

[@MermanMike]

I saw that on the news. Thank you for letting me know though!

[@annachipman7905]

Did you ever hear anything more about the gun? Did you get to have it for your treasure room?

[@UnderwaterCanuck]

Love it!

[@MermanMike]

Thank you! I was pretty stoked myself!

[@wizardsmoke4893]

any fish in ther ????? and how was the salmon run this year i will be comming over the for the steelhead run here in jan 1 hope too see ya then keep on diving

[@MermanMike]

Didn't see any fish on that dive but usually there are some pretty big size carp! Salmon run was amazing! I definitely want to try to get a video of me swimming with them next year!

[@OriginalGabriel]

14:40(ish): looks like the backing to a PlanetBike SuperFlash rear bike light.

[@MermanMike]

That would definitely make sense with how popular the trail and bridge is for biking! Good eye! Thank you!

[@pwayne3580]

It’s a TORCH, not a dive light! Dive on you crazy diamond!

[@MermanMike]

Lol Thank you!

[@Th1zzardOfOz]

I asked you on Reddit once if you ever found a gun or murder weapon. Now you can go back to it and say yes

[@MermanMike]

Lol Everybody kept telling me it was just a matter of time!

[@narekog8825]

Your Lyft driver

[@MermanMike]

Thanks for subscribing! I hope you enjoy the videos!

[@pwayne3580]

It’s a savage .22

[@MermanMike]

You're the second person who said it's that gun! I'm definitely going to do an update video as well when they get back to me about if they were able to read the serial number or find out anymore info on it. They said in 90 days, if there are no results, it's all mine!

[@pwayne3580]

Merman Mike yeah man, it’s a savage model 6a. I had one as a kid. You can tell by the round charging handle on the right side.

[@MermanMike]

I am going to have to agree with you 100% after looking at a picture of one! How long do you think it was down there to have all the wood rotted off like it was?

[@pwayne3580]

Merman Mike I’d say it has been down there for quite a while. They made those guns in the 60’s. I don’t think it’s been down there since then though. My best guess would be around 7-10 years judging from how far the barrel is pitted. I think any longer than that it would be too far gone to be recognizable. Nice score by the way! If you ever need a diving buddy hit me up man, we live in the same town.

[@MermanMike]

@@pwayne3580 Thank you, and thanks for all of your input! Always looking for a good dive buddy! You should send me a message on my Facebook page @mermanmike

[@markstebbins2216]

no dead bodies ??

[@MermanMike]

Luckily not! lol Found a super sketchy duffle bag filled with rocks and a rope tied around it once though!

[@xXPsyphrXx]

wow i'm actually third comment on a vid... nice also a 22 is a pistol not a rifle :/

[@TheMagaspike]

A .22 is a caliber of shot, could be many different guns.

[@MermanMike]

Thank you for watching, and congratulations on third! lol

[@MermanMike]

Yeah, it reminded me a bunch of my dad's old .22 caliber rifle. That's the only reason I think it might be one. Other than that, I would have absolutely no clue! lol Thanks for watching!

[@xXPsyphrXx]

@@TheMagaspike good point

[@xXPsyphrXx]

@@MermanMike the reason i got 3rd is cuz i found ur vid on a subreddit the day it was posted so that was pretty cool can't remember which subreddit tho :/
