A cache of World War II-era weapons discovered last week in a Bibb County, Alabama, creek had probably been there less than 24 hours, authorities said today.
David Hyche, resident agent in charge of the Bureau of Alcohol Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives Birmingham office, said he has never encountered anything like this in his 21 years of work.
The firepower, discovered by a state road crew conducting a bridge inspection just north of Centreville late last week, is illegal to own, still in working condition and probably worth in the hundreds of thousands of dollars
"It's a significant arsenal if it got into the wrong hands," Hyche said.
Bibb County Sheriff Keith Hannah said state road workers called his office on Thursday after spotting the weapons.
Hannah sent a sheriff's dive team into the water, where they found four Japanese machine guns, a Japanese antitank cannon, an Italian machine gun, a Japanese 50mm mortar and a Thompson machine gun, also known as the Tommy Gun, a popular Prohibition-era submachine gun.
