What is Magnet Fishing?

Ever heard of magnet fishing? It’s like the 21st-century version of metal detecting but in water. The trend has gained international traction and continues to grow every day.
Magnet Fishing is where you get a very strong magnet with a rope attached so you can throw it into the water to see what metal it pulls out. Unlike conventional ferrite magnets (like those commonly found on your fridge), these Neodymium magnets are big enough and strong enough to pull up to 500kg. This means if any piece of metal in the magnet’s path you can quite easily drag it out to see what you have found. People often find bikes, safes, coins etc – the possibilities are endless. Due to the growing trend, people are finding new and wonderful things every day. If some has dumped, dropped or lost something in a body of water Fishing Magnets are capable of re-emerging almost anything quite easily.
