UPDATE: y'all are quick and I agree it looks like a landmine piece as well! Thank you!

A channel viewer of ours sent this in wondering what it might be. Does anyone have any ideas?

"All you'll catch is nails!" Was what I was told would happen if I bought my POP Beast Magnet off Amazon. Caught a probably 50lb pipe easy and a big old brake drum. I wouldn't wanna catch anything much bigger!

Hope I’ve not broken any rules, just thought this was funny so thought I’d share this with you all

So unexpectedly had a late afternoon/evening out, off a metal bridge with railings around stomach/chest height and with the UK heatwaves the water levels are very low, the gap from the water to the barrier was around 30ft !!

My first find took half hour to get out (with a quick hand over the barrier from someone who had been watching !)

It was another council scooter (I've now learnt they weigh 30kg)

I'd got it almost within reach after finally getting a good hold before it dropped, but the next hold worked and it was out !

The other stuff

4 bike locks

PlayStation

Road sign frame

Half of an old newspaper sandwich board

Scaffolding bits

Umbrella

A set of cast iron wheels from something !

Belt, coins, battery, chain guard (bike), small length of chain, cutlery knife and spoon, part of a bike bell, part of some sort of small table with wheels, lighter, padlock

And whatever else you can see I've missed (mostly just odd metal)

Was quite the workout today !

Lots of rocks and a very tall bridge so I like to throw the water shoes on and go wading around at this location.

I ended up finding an extremely heavy compressor and a decent sized rim.

Other finds:

•Motorcycle kick stand

•A couple pieces of a sign

•Half of a jack

•Lures

•Steel framing

•Lures

•Screws

The large one is maybe a part of dragline, an old rod holder, a strange hook like thing and a lot of old barbed wire. Fonyód Channel, Hungary.

Don’t forget to clip your rope.

And before anyone says it. It was covered in muck and oxidation before I removed it and cleaned it partially. Once I realized what I had gotten, it was called into the local PD. I'm in complete shock to find the same type of grenade in the same spot, all within a month of each other.

Had a good time, about a dozen ppl stopped and chatted with us and about 5000 people walked past on the opposite side, marshalled by the police, on their way out of the Notts County ground, was good fun.

Found a cheap pocket watch, 2 more lanterns (total found on that stretch is 3 now), a chair, a very heavy square of steel plate, 15 Great British pence, an old Casio scientific calculator or personal organiser, a fish and random lumps of metal.

A good day.

This one is a little place I know where I can go coin fishing !

No it's not a wishing well !

There's an old 1ft square wooden post where the top has rotted, people try to get a coin to land in it, obviously when they miss it ends up in the water !

So I just bought another cube finally i am so bored of not magnet fishing

Went back to a hot spot today and everything was very well stuck in the mud and had been there for a while ! (Even cost me a rope ! Rubbed on concrete edge)

Definitely going back at some point as although I found a lot there's a lot more in there !

2 bikes

Beryl scooter

Outdoor wood burner

Very large metal fencing (2 more bits in there but I'll need help with them !)

A long fisherman's keep net

Landing net

Shopping basket

Watch (broken and bern there a long time)

Coins, spirit bottle security devices, scissors, pen knife (beyond help) cutlery knife, cooking knife with no handle, bar persons bottle opener, rod rest co2 cannister and anything I've missed !

Went out today to test out my new POP Beast Magnets 360 3000# magnet. Went back to a spot we hit up last weekend, where we used the cheap hardware store 115# brick magnet. Found some cool stuff with both the new magnet and the old one!!

I think the neatest find is the laptop motherboard!

With the help of a friend who is far better at restoration, we managed to restore what appears to be a 19th century pistol. This is by far the oldest treasure we have discovered magnet fishing. Im so happy with the results!
