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:
What kind of setup are you using to fish? I’ve only recently heard about this hobby. Is it a magnet on the end of an actual fishing rod or just tied to some paracord or something so you can haul heavier items out.

I bought a kit from Magnetar with near enough everything I needed to get started, including a grappling hook which I swap out with the magnet to pull out bikes and shopping trolleys mostly.
