I’ve never heard of such a thing. Have any of you tried this?

  6. If youre’ already fishing and get Skunked , it would be a fun back up plan.
    You could bring home a few new kitchen tools for the Wife, She’d be thrilled and really proud of the weight you take off Magnet Fishing.

  8. When I was younger I was a professional scuba diver and instructor.
    When people heard I had tanks they would ask me to dive and retrieve whatever they lost.
    From boat motors to fishing rods.
    Then the police wanted to hire me to retrieve corpses.
    That is some real fun. Sometimes you can’t see 3 ft. So you feel around and wait to you feel a body or something like a body.
    And thats how I became a police scuba diver. I’ve pulled over a hundred corpses
    Out of lakes ponds and rivers. No magnets involved

  12. Many years ago my fishing partner just returned to our slip and tied off when a couple in the boat next to us were about to kill each other. She dropped HIS keys in the lake (Bear River Res. Calif) while getting out of the boat. I had a magnet in my boat and attached it to one of my fishing poles. After about three beers I was able to pull up his keys from about 30 feet of water thank GOD he was a veteran and had his trusty old P-38 can opener on his key ring! Maybe it was more like 5 or 6 beers…we weren’t driving anywhere anyway.

  16. Yes, I found a pound of gold once magnet fishing. It was next to a kilogram of silver, that was next to a ton of copper. Thank goodness it was triggered by an ounce of iron.

    🙂

  18. @Doc: Any veteran who doesn’t have a P-38 on his key ring is not worthy of the title, IMHO. I also keep a handcuff key on it after a cop friend of mine told me I should do so. He said some criminals have been known to use handcuffs to incapacitate their victims. If they don’t think to take away your keys, you might just have a chance to free yourself.

  20. @Vietvet, back in the old days when ballpoint ink pins had metal ink tubes (not plastic) You could make a handcuff key by tearing the end of the ink tube and making it into a key.

    I’m sure MoeTom is aware of that old trick.

  23. Closest thing we did was a metal detector. Unfortunately, besides a few metal buttona and coins, we found mostly pop tops from cans – even on the grounds of old train stations. DH had more success at finding Indian arrowheads back when fields were still being plowed.

  24. I lived in a small English village when I was stationed over there in the mid-70’s. I got into metal detecting when they discovered the Water Newton Treasure just a few miles away from my cottage. Google “Water Newton Treasure” to see what was found. That part of England was covered with stuff like this.

  25. Back in the 60s we waited for the fishing hole to dry up enough to walk around on the exposed parts and pick up all the tackle and whatever else you could find.

    Never found precious metal, but neither does a magnet.

  27. Scuba Steve! Whatever happened to your movie career? I liked you in Big Daddy.

    Oh, that’s right. It was a non-speaking part and critics said you were stiff and plastic-like in your acting. It was real small roll (about 6″ high?), but I think you played it better than G.I. Joe or Barbie could.
