‘Magnet fishers’ ticketed after uncovering old munitions near Georgia military base

YouTubers who found a treasure trove of old munitions while using a magnet to “fish” near a Georgia military base were rewarded with a ticket from local authorities.

Bryce Nachtwey and Matt Jackson decided to visit a river near Fort Stewart in June, and in no time flat were scoring big on their expedition — rusted-over ammo belts with .50 caliber bullet rounds, armor plates, a tank tracer round and a flare.

Their grand prize wound up being a bag of 86 rockets stuffed inside of a Delta Airlines duffel bag.

The vloggers were celebrating their discoveries when they called the authorities to let them know what they found.
