I happen to live near a theme park and had annual passes. One day I was sitting at the base of a rope climbing area in the kids area. It dawned on me that people probably drop things into the mulch below. I suggested to my kids to look around. I brought baggies for their findings. Over the course of time they found rings, coins and junk. Lots of sterling silver. I'd exchange the change for them. I put away the jewelry for when they got older. No one ever said anything to them. Some guests would ask me what they were doing.

So, new to magnet fishing. First time I let the kids go alone, and they came back after 30 minutes - without the magnet...turns out the knot I had approved had untied itself... Bought a new, more expensive magnet, and went back to the same spot with one of the kids, to hopefully retrieve the first magnet, but also find one of the kids cell phones that was lost at the very same spot last summer...(Yeah, kids).

It's a popular jetty / swim spot in a murky lake in Sweden.

As this isn't Murica, an axe is probably the equivalent to finding a gun...it's only a 15 USD axe, but not to bad as I don't own a man axe that size before...

Nice company and a good spot. Will come back and try to retrieve my first magnet and that cell phone...

New video dropped today, we even pull a lightsaber or two!! 🤣🤣

Hey I’m new to the sport and looking for spots in San Diego seen a couple posts on google but they are little far away, more specifically East County any feedback would be great thanks

Just ordered my first magnet, don’t want to put the carabiner on it. What type of knot do you tie on it? TIA

I'm wondering what the best magnet (in the world) would be to drag behind a Seadoo in large lakes in Canada? I'm a newbie looking to start when the weather warms up. I purchased the Brute 2600lb double sided magnet which looks like it will suck things out of the sand/mud, but can it hang on to them? Seems to me that a 360 might be better where items will have a place to remain and not get scraped off.

all i found was a strangfe metalic stone, with that being said, Any good places near bridgend??

lol r/engrish be like: my post

EDIT: wopw never got this much action. no, no evidence in the river, but has my DYING of laughter, that was a joke, not like, anything sus. it wasnt meteorite, unfortunately. was only iron ore.

“Caught” a big ole clam out of a river in Wisconsin this weekend on our magnet! Its opening had clamped down on the hook. It was promptly returned to the river

My son is on April Vacation. Went down to the local swimming hole to see what we could find. Third time attempting magnet fishing. First time we found only a small piece of a fishing trap. I mean less than a quarter inch piece of metal.

So today it’s a warm 58 degrees. We took 3 throws. He loves adventure and enjoys me getting these on camera for YouTube. Anyways first throw nothing. Second throw we caught the chain here in the video. He was very pumped and of course I was as a dad too.

I started YouTube for him to catch these memories. I don’t have Facebook so why not.

Moral of the story too…always tighten the magnet before going. We lost the magnet on the third throw. We had such an adrenaline or high I’d say from the biggest catch, but down hill quick with a pissed off kid and mad we couldn’t go anymore.

I’m going to be probably ordering another or diving soon for the magnet. Would not be bad but just freezing mid 40s water this time of year.

We’ll have fun magnet fishing and thanks for listening!

Went camping on a local lake and started magnet fishing around the dock. A guy came up to me asking what I was doing and once he understood got super excited. He just dropped his very expensive Benchmade fillet knife while getting off his boat. I tried for about half an hour with no luck. He gave up watching and said he was going leaving for home shortly. Told him I'd get his info so I could return it if I did find it. Ended up catching it before they left. One happy dude!

It drifted / fluttered down about 15' away from where he dropped it.

It's my 2nd time out. I went yesterday, got it stuck and had to tie it off. Went back today with the power to tug it free and found this little POS knife! Worth nothing, but the excitement and satisfaction of pulling it up is... really something. I'm hooked!

Have never magnet fished before. But whenever I do I’d like to know the laws.
