Hi! I’m a first timer at magnet fishing and haven’t had a lot of luck. I’m tossing my magnet in deep pools along a popularly used creek, and I‘ve been trying 5-7 tosses in each pool before moving to a new spot. I’m not sure if I’m not being thorough enough, or if I should be moving on more quickly.

More broadly- any words of encouragement for a newbie fishing in a creek? I’ve been at this for a few days and so far I’ve just found a few bottle caps. I’m not sure if I need to just keep trying or if I need to refine my technique or try different spots. It’s tricky because there’s a lot of iron deposits in the rocks that yield false positives. I’d appreciate any advice!
