Hunting for truffles in Greece has been a trend for over 15 years now, as more and more Greeks seek out the delicious underground mushroom for themselves.

Other than being some of the most delicious, truffles are also among the most expensive products in the international market. They are a rare commodity but can be found in relative abundance in Greece.

Three brothers with a passion for magnet fishing have hauled out deadly catches – a gun each.

Reece Nixon, 14, was the first to come across a weapon when he found a World War One machine gun at the bottom of a canal.

That find a year ago was followed by a handgun fished out by younger brother Riley, five.

Then last Sunday four-year-old Leo found a BB gun on one of his first fishing expeditions.

The wartime weapon, a Vickers. is now in a museum, while investigations have found the German handgun was used in an armed robbery.

The brothers, from Leeds, regularly go magnet fishing – in which a magnet attached to a rope is dangled into water to locate metallic objects – in Yorkshire and Lincolnshire.
