Riffe speargun found

Found a Riffe speargun a few miles east of Juno pier today. Describe it to me and I'll get it back to you. It had not been there very long at all. No name on it.

Nice to hear there are still honest divers out there.
Some Dickheads keep them and try to resell them.
Great Karma to You

On 9-1-16, you posted about a lost Koah found off Juno by another diver.

Was the owner ever found?

Hey spearo, sorry, not your gun. Not a euro, it is an open track. It did not have a reel.

Re: Riffe speargun found

when I find a spear gun I will watch the forums and if someone looses one and is not embarrassed about it they will post. Then I will contact them for information. If you post you found one many will ping you trying to guess what it is. If after a month no one claims it I sell it. so I guess I could be called a Dickhead. So far I have found three or four guns and not one has been claimed. I also ask at the dive shops if anyone has lost a gun. List the gun and make a few bucks for your troubles you made a valiant effort to find the owner.

Re: Riffe speargun found

Putting a name & phone number on a tag isn't a great effort. It amazes me why it is always an after thought to label your shit. GoPros, guns, etc seem to get dropped or simply left on the bottom and typically someone will find them. SMH. Took me a bit to figure out but a paint pen/sharpie are way cheaper.
