It took the pair, who have been fishing together for ten years, over an hour to get the 3ft object out
Two magnet fishers have pulled out a cannon from a river in what is believed to be the first discovery of its kind in the UK. Dave Sonik Jordan, 46, and Raymond Harper, 73, latched onto the artillery piece while magnet fishing - which is where people use magnets to pull treasure out of water.
"We always come across weird and wonderful stuff but this cannon takes the cake. When we were pulling it out, we just looked at each other and said 'it's a frigging cannon.' Dave said: "It's still covered in rust at the moment but I don't want to clean it up just yet. It could be anything from 200 years old, which would be from the Napoleon time period or it could be from the civil war.
"But it could also be something to do with the manufacturing side of Sheffield but we haven't got the foggiest."
