Most of what I found was keys and coins, mostly coppers but I might have a quid total if I’m lucky! Not sure who accepts dirty, heavily tarnished coins though.
Two bikes this time, but I’m pretty sure there’s two more down there in the mud. It’s really thick mud in that section so I think all the heavy scrap is sunk in there deep down.
I developed a bit of an audience while trying to pull out the second bike and got a round of applause when I eventually pulled it out! It was good to brighten some people’s day but I think I’ll go somewhere quieter next time. As always I was very pleasantly surprised with the overwhelming majority having positive reactions to what I was doing, and one woman even came and had a go.
Most interesting finds were these two Israeli coins and one Indian coin:
WW2 ordnance always makes the news, but I’m not sure how common it actually is to find while magnet fishing. I definitely would rather not pull up a bomb but a gun would be cool even if I have to hand it in.
I’ve found that it can be quite hit and miss how good a spot is, and sometimes I’ll be pulling up absolutely nothing, walk 100m and then start pulling up stuff every time. Cities are usually always good because of the amount of people in one place. Some harbours have been really good in my experience but some have been completely empty. The general rule seems to be that the best places are the ones with the most activity either historically or today.
