1515Art Posted February 25, 2020 Share Posted February 25, 2020 My son sent me a magnet fishing setup last year for my birthday, I’ve only tried it once for a few minutes I didn’t find much but carry it in the Jeep just in case I find myself someplace I want to look. Depending where you live I’d imagine water crossings in historically rich area would A good place? They’ed probably kick me out of the Bellagio if I try it there, lol. 880# magnet should hang on pretty good, happy hunting show us what you find. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lake Michigan is also a good place to look also, there are a lot of things out there. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chase Goldman Posted February 25, 2020 Share Posted February 25, 2020 Magnet fishing showing up here is ironic to me by the very fact it will attach to the same metal that metal detectorists try so hard to discriminate out, iron. Since gold, silver, copper, and nickel will not attach to it, it has never really intrigued me (except when I was a kid and bought one out of a magazine ad). That's not to say that there are not interesting iron and steel things to be recovered, but especially attempting to recover those things from the water, you know they are going to be pretty corroded. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Some of the videos on YouTube are pretty fun to watch you get to cherry pick the finds, pulling out a gun would be a little rush kinda like finding a little nugget, might even help solve a crime, one of the videos over in Eastern Europe guy pulled an old ww2 machine gun out of a river. Find a place going through the old records and maps where you think a long abandoned river crossing might have been and bring your detector too, once you pull out all the old iron you can cherry pick the high tones. Might even find A safe full of gold, but that might take more than one magnet😀. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sven1 Posted February 26, 2020 Share Posted February 26, 2020 Magnet Fishing is hot in the Uk. lots of canals and channels that are hundreds of years old. Lots of cool stuff is being brought up. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chase Goldman Posted February 26, 2020 Share Posted February 26, 2020 Magnet fishing would be more compelling in countries that use ferromagnetic metallic coinage, I suppose and that probably improves its popularity in European countries. That type of coinage does not exist in the US. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sven1 Posted February 26, 2020 Share Posted February 26, 2020 I am in Canada that has nickel plated, bronze plated steel coins. Magnets work great for plucking them out of your goodie bag. 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
