magnet fishing

Haven't heard of this before this looks bonkers he's finding bicycles. Might have a go somewhere one day.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_XacatvmJGE

Pikey`s they will do anything for a bit of scrap!

Silly sod needs to learn to wear his arm bands just in case there's a passing submarine :roll:

look up on neo magnets, you can get some very powerful ones. Not a toy and can cause serious injurys. The larger ones have to be specially packed to be sent by post.

Those bikes looked tied on, that magnet wouldn't have held it surely?

I agree, that is tied on. In fact I reckon they are putting bikes in and tying them to the side and then pulling them out sometime later.

At one point he tries to use another magnet to lift the bike and fails miserably and resorts to lifting it out himself.

Another film in which he shows the make of the magnets and a photo of one which can lift 500kgs.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=I841CsRTPnY

Think all you would catch on the river mudway is shopping trolleys....but sooner than get a minging one out of the river, I would sooner get one from tesco....they only cost £1....Bargain!

Hi Greg,
Your probably right ,how about Chatham Docks there could be some interesting finds from all those years of shipbuilding?
All the bits of metal that used to be scattered on the beach here have gone now. At what point do things become archeological?

But the worrying thing is what our beloved redneck overlord would build out of it :butt:

a shopping trolley with a fronty engine lol oh the thoughts in my tired head lol

might be best not to suggest it .... it could end up in truck of the month!
