*Magnet fishing is Illegal in South Carolina, just a FYI.
Been meaning to start this thread for a while. There's been a number of things posted recently and some members seem to have an interest so lets do it.
Magnet fishing? Wutchu talkin bout Willis?
Well, you tie a rope to a big magnet and toss it off a bridge/dock/bank and drag it back in. Lots of videos on Youtube if your curious.
We been messing around with it for a while. Found all grades of things, guns, knives, tools, street signs, car parts, motorcycle frames, lawnmower parts, electronics, etc. There's no limit to the crap people toss off bridges. I'll get some pics and post some stuff we have found in this thread.
Currently, I have a Brute Boss and a Brute Dock buster (dock buster doesn't get used much), 100' of rope on each. Looking to try a clamp magnet soon as well.
If your looking to get into this hobby I would suggest picking up a smaller magnet to play around with initially (maybe 400-1000lb force range). The larger magnets are no joke and can easily injure you if your not careful. @Burt Gummer can attest to the strength of the Boss I have. There have been times we've had to hook ropes to the truck to drag things out or pull the magnets off of objects. They are NOT toys.
Our two most used magnets are these.

Here are a few MFG sites that sell these. For starters I would recommend something in the 4-600 lb pull range.
FYI I have no financial interest in any of the above companies.
Ok folks, discuss.
