Magnet fishing: The 25 best treasure hunter finds

Have you ever thrown an extra strong magnet into a lake to pull up iron objects lying on the bottom? See what can be pulled out of the water.

It’s called magnet fishing

You throw a strong magnet tied to a rope into the water, pull it out and see what is attached to the magnet. It is a fun, relaxing activity and an adventure. You never know what will stick. It could be a bicycle, a safe or even a gun!

Absolutely everyone can do it. All you need is a magnet for searching in the water and a rope. Recommended equipment includes protective gloves and a bag for the items you find. The stronger the magnet you have, the more you will pull. It is best to fish in lakes where people go swimming and from city bridges.
