This video discusses the legality of keeping firearms found through magnetic fishing. Nationally, there is no specific law preventing you from keeping a found gun, aligning with a general 'finders keepers' principle. However, the speaker strongly advises reporting found firearms to local law enforcement as they could be crucial evidence in solving crimes. North Carolina has a unique law restricting magnetic fishing to licensed archaeologists for artifact recovery, though this doesn't directly prohibit keeping a found gun, only the method of discovery.
