Glad you came out of that only missing a gun, could have taken your life in cold water

I bet the magnet will work

Otherwise I would check and see if anyone local has a scuba setup and a wetsuit and willing to go get it

Your magnet might not stick to your stainless gun, some stainless isn't magnetic. Try a rake or you might need a diver if it's really deep. Good luck

No answer from Vinky on the PM yet

Could have been much worse.My shotgun is still laying on the bottom of the dead water where I lost it duck hunting 3 years ago.

Most firearm stainless is 400 series which will be magnetic to a lesser degree than mild steel, but should be able to recover your gun. The 300 series-304,316, and 330 are not much attracted to a magnet.

We tried treble hooks. Didn't work. I found mine with my foot in neck deep water. Redfield's weren't waterproof at that time.

This is what I made for my canoe, there adjustable in and out, up and down or come completely off

Well done.

haven't seen anything from Macthediver in a while , he is the underwater recovery expert

he might just roll out of the boat with dry suit on and metal detector in hand and come up 5 minutes later with your gun and 4 others

It was a situation like that about 3 years ago that convinced me I am no longer 8 ft. tall and bulletproof anymore and I do not get into my kayak without a life vest anymore.

I agree...Macthediver would know what to do!
