Magnet fishing can only find rusty shite. Coins, gold and silver won't stick to a magnet. Unless you find a gun that was dumped recently then I can't see what good stuff you might turn up.

I,ve done a bit of magnet fishing as I live on a boat and a strong magnet on a string is an esencial piece of kit for keys glasses and other bits that fall in, but as dido says the only other things I’ve found are rusty nails, and fishing hooks 15 minutes ago, DIDO.1 said: Magnet fishing can only find rusty shite.
