James told MyLondon: "When I found them I said 'I wish it was a bad dream,' but it wasn't a dream and then I found a cone shape and I said 'it might be an explosive'."Then I found another set of guns and another cone that looked like an explosive."The group reportedly found between six and 11 guns, as well as two separate devices which they can only describe as 'explosives'.They also found several bullets and "magazines" from all the guns which had been "taken apart", in addition to the other guns that they found.A spokesperson for the Met Police said: "Police were called to Winsford Road, SE6, at 4.49pm on Saturday, August 6 to reports of firearms found in a river.

Officers attended."A firearm and ammunition were recovered and removed from the scene."A Leicester schoolboy has also fished out a huge collection of weapons from waterways around Nottinghamshire after taking up magnet fishing, Nottinghamshire Live reports.
