"I went and checked what condition the gun was in. At first I wasn't sure if it was a real gun.

Matt said the children were actively hunting for treasure and were excited when they found something in the Oldham Reservoir. I was just doing what I loved, exploring myself and having fun," he added. 53} Image:
