Magnet Fishing

Cool! Get dipping ...

I remember seeing a video with a couple of chaps just setting up on a bridge. The newcomer (we guess) placed both magnets onto the metal part of the bridge. The more seasoned chap looked at him like a right dummy. Yes, those magnets are strong. Yes, they're now attached. No, we're not fishing.

Fun! Let's see what you find.

So, anyone else ...
 
Never tried it myself, but loved watching a few Youtube channels about magnet fishing. Often makes me laugh when the Police are called to a find of ammo & weapons - the look on their faces when they see a couple of geezers with a magnet having pulled a pistol out of a canal ;)

My favourite channel is "Metal Detecting WW2 Battlegrounds" on the 'tubes. Poking a magnet on a stick into a pond where the western front once was. Mortars, ammo, grenades - one day I'm sure they will meet their maker :oops:

All the best with your new hobby @shaunwistow Please keep us posted!
 
Magnet fishing has cropped up in a new channel 4 programme - "Inside the Bomb Squad". Seemingly calls for service has increased as magnet fishing has got more popular. Some lovely shots of people pulling grenades out of canals! How they got there - god knows o_O
