Magnet fishing * 3
    #26650154 - 05/05/20 09:24 AM (3 years, 8 months ago)

Recently I discovered a bunch of YouTubers who use powerful magnets to fish stuff out of lakes, rivers, etc. It seems like a pretty fun and interesting hobby. Has anyone else done this or know anyone who has? 

Here's video showing what I mean. The main reason I show you this one is because in the description, he gives you the link for the materials he uses. Then after that, I have a video of the same guy, magnet fishing with Steve-O, just because I like Steve-O.

I'm thinking about doing it and maybe just trying it with one magnet first. Just one magnet is $50 though. Jeez. Then the rope is $12. The bracket he links to is sold out.

One thing I've seen from these videos is that they find a disturbing amount of knives and guns. And you gotta figure that if they find 10 knives, at least one of them was used to stab/murder someone. That's pretty heavy. 

:uhoh:

I'd be too worried about losing or breaking my nice magnet but it seems like it could be kind of fun in the right spot. If that thing dropped and stuck to something under the silt it would just be gone

I did this for a while and mostly just got bottle caps and trash.  Wish I knew someone with a boat to take me out on a lake or something and I'd probably have found some interesting shit.

True story...I cast my line out into a canal, lost my grip, and in went the magnet and rope.

I’ve watched some of these videos and also folks with SCUBA gear in rivers. They seem to find lots of sunglasses and cellphones.

Your best bet is probably to make a loop at the end, so you can grip it.  It would definitely suck to lose that thing.  I'm glad you guys brought that up.  If I end up doing this, I'm definitely making a loop.  That sucks that you lost yours, SITR. 

My sister lives near a lake and I think we're going to take the canoes out and do it, if I put the cash down.

A bunch of kids were doing this at the park out front

In 5 minutes they pulled two bicycles out

You should totally get the "Magnet of Death" from supermagnete.com

Its pulls about 980N (or a 100kgs) :eek: and weights only 500gr

Me and a couple buddies have gone magnet fishing on the local river a few times. The magnets we bought are so powerful they pick up rocks.

My buddy was convinced they were meteorites, lol.

We were convinced we would find all kinds of cool shit but really it was just a bunch of trash and scrap.

They actually want to get out on the river this Sunday and I'm considering it.

I was worried about that so I tied one of those float bags like for a rescue throw rope onto the end of mine.

Not a bad idea, but why not just make a loop and put your hand through it?  And I saw your picture of your magnet.  What brand is that?

I'm sure there are a million ways to do it. A loop would be fine I'm sure. I've seen guys use carabiners and shackles and whatnot but I just tied mine onto a cheap length of Home Depot rope with a noose knot.

I bought my magnet off Amazon. It is this one: https://www.amazon.com/Neodymium-Diameter-Magnetics-Underwater-Retrieval/dp/B07J4H3SK9

I got into an argument with this random kid that was out on the river that was saying you couldn't magnet fish with a single sided magnet but he didn't even have a magnet of his own. :lol:

My dad and I used to magnet fish for tackle when the real fish weren't biting.  We did pull in lots of tackle, but otherwise we caught mostly uninteresting trash as Shroomerintherye said.  Trash and iron slime.

Yeah I was disappointed. That's not to say you can't find cool stuff but I didn't.

I lost a very nice Joe Camel Zippo lighter in that same river and I secretly envision myself finding it again one day.

It makes sense that a double sided magnet would double your chances of pulling something up.  But the magnet that the guy in that video uses has SO many bad reviews.  The overall reviews are good, but there are just so many that said the magnet is useless and that they don't accept returns on it!  One guy shows a video of him putting it on his fridge and then easily pulling it off.  Then I found that website I linked above, and they say that this magnet, which is single-sided, is the best.  Who knows?

I wouldn’t stress too much about your magnet. At the end of the day they’re all Chinese junk.
I’ve got a much more powerful magnet I bought from Harbor Freight but it is too big and bulky to fish with.

I’m at work and my boss is lurking around but I’ll take a picture of it in a minute.

Looks fun, though I'm guessing 95% of the finds are just cans, bottle caps and trash.

Using the technique in the video you'd need a buddy as well.

That buddy technique is pretty cool but I have a feeling that, at first at least, I'd just throw it out there or drop it from a boat/canoe.  But yeah, I fully expect to find mostly trash.  But you never know.  You might find a skateboard, like Steve-O and that guy did.

Might as well scuba dive with the appropriate gear that allows one to easily search and sift through the silt at the bottom of lakes and rivers and ocean shorelines.  with a good net and some powerful magnet(s), pus a powerful light and some other stuff your set to go.

Done that way, I’ve seen some crazy finds.  I’ve got a friend who lives in Emerald Isle.  and he goes out around the beaches and the little islands around near his beachouse to find things that were lost by others.

Some surprising finds, and some lucrative ones, but mostly garbage.  Still, it’s a neat hobby.

Those little islands are the shit.

I bought a 200kg fishing magnet. If you're going to get into it, I recommend a way stronger one. The ratings they give are only for iron at least 10-15mm thick, and not many things in your local river are likely to be that thick. Plus, you have to take into account that most of the time (unless you're lowering it straight down from a pier or something) you're casting out into a body of water and using lateral force to bring things in. These magnets don't hold as well laterally as they do otherwise. They're pricey, but get the strongest you can afford.

Not to mention, a lot of the good stuff down there can’t be magnetized.  Plastics cases, waterproof kits for storing money and jewelry or phones n keys etc.

Oh man, baby steps man lol.  I'm not ready to (pun intended) dive all the way in here.  I just want to buy a good magnet and rope and see if I like it.  Then down the line, if I really get into it, maybe I'll invest in all that other expensive stuff.

That's why I think the double sided must be better.  I keep going back and forth on this, but I'm considering ordering a double sided 1,200 pound one directly from Brute Magnetics.  But still not sure.

That's awesome and made in the USA too!

I'm 'bout to order one of those.

I had to drive a lot today and I was daydreaming about making some type of pole with a fly wheel on the end and a hand crank that you could really cast the shit out of a magnet and reel it in like a true fishing pole.

I've always been a big fan of magnets ever since I was a little kid. This is the one I got at Harbor Freight many years ago for tool retrieval.

how strong of a magnet would it take to pull the iron from someone’s body/blood?
I’m not sure if that’s even possible, but I want to try - for science.

Probably not enough iron content. Like take MRIs. Very powerful electromagnet and it has no effect on blood.

However, people with metal plates in their head cannot go into an MRI or it will cause serious damage to the person and the MRI machine :eek:

I meant to ask in my last post, but it slipped my mind.  What "neck of the woods" were those photos taken?




A dirty little river in Northeast Alabama. I know it like the back of my hand in regards to where people are likely to drop their valuables into the drink. Put ins. Take outs. Lunch spots. Etc.

Nice, I need to do a river trip.

I have a few spots around a lake that I regularly find people treasures...I've probably acquired around $300 worth of fishing gear, and about $80 in golf balls.  :thumbup:

Might as well scuba dive with the appropriate gear that allows one to easily search and sift through the silt at the bottom of lakes and rivers and ocean shorelines.  with a good net and some powerful magnet(s), pus a powerful light and some other stuff your set to go.




Oh man, baby steps man lol.  I'm not ready to (pun intended) dive all the way in here.  I just want to buy a good magnet and rope and see if I like it.  Then down the line, if I really get into it, maybe I'll invest in all that other expensive stuff.

I bought a 200kg fishing magnet. If you're going to get into it, I recommend a way stronger one. The ratings they give are only for iron at least 10-15mm thick, and not many things in your local river are likely to be that thick. Plus, you have to take into account that most of the time (unless you're lowering it straight down from a pier or something) you're casting out into a body of water and using lateral force to bring things in. These magnets don't hold as well laterally as they do otherwise. They're pricey, but get the strongest you can afford.




That's why I think the double sided must be better.  I keep going back and forth on this, but I'm considering ordering a double sided 1,200 pound one directly from Brute Magnetics.  But still not sure.













The one I got was double sided and 440pounds. It's not nearly strong enough for my liking. Don't get me wrong, you don't want to accidentally stick it to a panel of your car or get it near your phone, but the force it applies is proportional to the amount of iron it's in proximity to, so it's full force of 440 pounds only applies to steel 10-15mm thick, and anything less gets only some percentage of the force.

Also, the inverse relationship between proximity and force is exaggerated in neodymium magnets. Even a relatively small normal household magnet will pick up, say, a paperclip at distances equal to or greater than my 440 pound fishing magnet. Just another reason to get as strong a magnet as you can. If I were going to upgrade I wouldn't look at anything less than 1600 pounds.

I'm looking to get at least 1,200lb.  I'm not looking to pull up a Buick lol.

What sorts of cool things have you guys found or have your friends found?  I know it's mostly trash, but what are the cool things that have been pulled up?

That 1200 pound double sided Brute Magnetics magnet is bigger than I thought it would be. And heavy!



Trying to get a river trip organized for this weekend but one of us has to work Saturday and they're calling for rain Sunday. :facepalm3:
