Hi, i was wondering if anybody does magnet fishing.

Here is a link to a competition


People seem to find old bikes when magnet fishing, maybe a donor bike for somebody.

Thanks

Fishing isn't one of my things, but years ago I went with a couple of friends just to be out and about. A woman nearby with her two young children was trying to fish with bread as bait, with no luck, and the little boy came over and was looking at our maggots.

I said you can have some maggots, at which he turned and called out "Mummy, this man is going to give us some magnets". :)

Metal detectorists are pretty successful finding artefacts and coins in rivers. This would seem to allow for wholesale "dredging" of the riverbed without having to get wet.
