鈥淚 caught something that wasn鈥檛 a fish,鈥� he explained in an email to Black Press Media. 鈥淰ery close to the bank I got snagged up on a small plastic box with duct tape on it.鈥�

Once he had it open, he found the box was full of First and Second World War memorabilia and medals.

He reached out to the media in the hopes of spread the word, so that the rightful owner could be found. He鈥檚 also contacted the Abbotsford Legion.
