If You Misplaced A Coffin Full Of Weapons, A Florida Sheriff Would Like To Speak With You

• Double-sided axe with handle
• Baseball bat with numerous screws attached
• Broken yellow dart
• Wooden handle with attached rusted knife blade
• Black stick with attached chain
• Silver metal sword blade with missing hand grip
• Large pair of black metal tongs
