Think I've been going out too much ! Lol

Had a couple hours this afternoon, was a new stretch but very little in there, or the weeds (time of year) were pulling things off !

Not much today

Big tyre (that was a bit awkward to get out, but has a lot of steel in it as was quite magnetic !)

Mole grips (unfortunately unrepairable I need some more lol )

Battery

Coins

Fork, spoon, drill bit, 2 rear lights from bikes,

Some sort of flooring from a boat (very little metal, took a while to get it out)

Some odd bits of metal !

Is Iowa Magnetfishing permitted?

My daughter wants to try magnet fishing. We’re in Iowa and I’m getting mixed messaging on the legality. Even a couple threads here are mixed. Does it require a permit? Is there a law or code that applies?

Friend of mine let me know someone lost car keys in the river.

I went the following morning and found them and was able to reach the person and return them.

Managed a couple of hours this afternoon !

Still a little too warm for me but managed a couple of hours.

Nothing very exciting today I'm afraid !

Little knife, fishing hook pliers, spark plugs, an old wooden handled screwdriver, an old double ended spanner, coins, doorknob, starting handle for something small ?

Long piece of box section, heavy piece of twisted channel , the back of an old headlight (broke as it came out of the water) several bolts/nails, and whatever else you can make out !

Couple of bits I'm not sure what they are and a couple I've an idea but not sure !

Where can i get a strong magnet from?

I'm not from the USA and i can't find anything online that is good. Does anybody from a third world country know what type of shops i can find those magnets in?

My first magnet, The Boss 360

I just picked up my Brute Boss for $100! I can't wait to try it out. What’s the best deal you’ve ever gotten on one?

112 days later update on the Safe

There was a lot of mud in it. Really cool. We finally found a gun though yayyy. Here are some random pics of some of the most frustrating 112 days of our lives since finding that dumb mud box. Holy shit I’ve gotten so angry doing this so many times. I’ve grown indifferent to rocks. Still love rocks though. You can like… totally check out the insane YouTube of our adventures if you’d like @lowkeymagnets. It’s ridiculous and horribly produced.

Hello I'm new to magnet fishing

This image is the equipment I have

I'd like to ask a few questions. Are you allowed to magnet fish anywhere where people are fishing or at least where people go fishing as long as you're not in anybody's way? I'm in Connecticut and I'm 21

Do I have good equipment?

I also have a metal detector but I have a lot of trouble trying to find a place to use that so I'm hoping that I can find places to magnet fish easier then trying to find places where I can metal detect.

u/No-Cry-4404 — 9 days ago

Today's best find. Props to you, curly

This is after I cleaned it up a little bit. Gotta get cotton & a flint but this is my new go to lighter. What a cool find!

Normally magnetfishing at old dump. Now with the pinpointer

We got an canal whats was a dumpster in the early 1800 -. Then world war 2 came en there is fought a lot. These are my finds while going in to the water with only a pinpointer and hand. Normally we go magnetfishing here but there is so much stuf in there that this is a better way. Just dive in tot the water wit dunlop rainboots.

EDIT: I got to much pictures, Can only put half of it here.

u/Head-Stretch7223 — 11 days ago

The most rebar I’ve gotten in one session

18 pieces in all! I even pulled up two at the same time! Of course, the hottest day I go out is the most physically demanding. Happy to clean up the water for the animals that live there.
