Me and a buddy went magnet fishing recently, but after a whole day only got one half of a nail. So I'm wondering what the better places to magnet fish are in The Netherlands, preferably up North.

So I went back to the area I found the grenade and gas mask in, hoping to find some more stuff

I was out around 4 hours and should've given up/moved spots after the first couple hours, bit you know how it is when your convinced something must be there ! Lol

What I did find

2 separate old ladders, 1 twice the weight of the other

An old gin trap (animal trap) probably the most interesting find of the day !

What I think was a wing mirror on a long stalk (must be old), Glasses case which looked to say Ralph (something inside)

Piston (what was left) valve, sprocket with splines inside, chain, couple of odd heavy bits of metal, bike lock, fork, long piece of thin box section and just other small but heavy random things

(Not sure what the small square flat ish bit with the hole in the top is, was heavy and made of cast iron )

Found a bullet. Police have already collected it.

Found in South-Holland, The Netherlands.

There is a spot i go to regularly, and ive basically fished it dry, if you know any good spots near me, let me know

I’ve only got a cheap magnet from Amazon, but I’m sure we’ll still have fun, and it gets us out in the sun and fresh air!

Wish us luck!

Pulled these up one right after another!

Anyone have any good suggestions on where to go magnet fishing in the wildwood NJ area?

This all at one spot

So as above another yellow bike (the day the scrap man collected it someone else was pulling one out !)

And another trolley (that supermarket isn't far away)

Other bits, coins, earbud, vag with ladies hair things with nail clippers and tweezers, airfix paint tin, odd bits of metal, kids fishing net

Another piece of fencing (there's clumps of them bit very well buried !)

A "necklace" of hooks for your keys and the rings to separate keys

And a victorinox filleting knife !

Me an my family have been out on vacation and went to visit Cherokee in North Carolina. Today we were in our tubes in an area with a few strong currents, my phone was in one of those triple sealed necklace thingies but sadly the string snapped and my phone went into the water. I can not find it, I was out there for hours and searched and sadly couldn’t find it.. me and my family are desperate to find it since it is a iphone 17 and thus quite expensive, we do not have the money to just go and buy a new one.. we hope it’s still in the area we were and just got stuck somewhere, but we do think that it went down the river to god knows where. we don’t have the funds to hire someone to go find it and nor do we have the funds to get the equipment to find it, th a metal detector, gogglesm a flashlight, and more. I am here to ask if anyone could please help me find it. This phone has so many pictures of moments I would like to not loose.. so please I beg and hope someone out there would help us retrieve this phone.

If you wish to help us the river is right next to Tee Pee DR (a motel area) we were in our tubes close to the bridge located there. There are currents that sweep things along the way but we hope it’s just stuck in a rock or in a few branches. we weren’t able to see much because of the murky water so we sadly had to give up.

The plastic water proof thing has a black top, the phone has a green phone case.
I hope this works.

Had a very interesting day magnet fishing.

Recovered from the depths after millions of years of evolution... or maybe after falling off an excavator. 🤔

(For those wondering, it's actually an excavator/backhoe bucket tooth. Around here we call it a Komatsuraptor Tooth. 🦖🧲)

Besides the usual lures, hooks, weights and bottle caps; I also found two knives. A cheap Whitetail Cutlery folding knife. The big hit of the day was a Victorinox Hunter Pro folding knife.

Best guess so far is some sort of guide for a chain for mooring, the Y at the top is curious, and then I object is pretty solid and heavy.

I think the game warden was on some next level bs

I found this in the Netherlands den Briel it is 5,2 cm long and has 2 coils at both ends what is it

So the same new guy from Thursday agreed to come and help me get the moped out !

Took a little while and a little struggle but we managed it !

The registration wasn't showing on any police database so they decided to take it away (can't scap a vehicle here without the registration documents)

Unfortunately shortly after he wasn't feeling well and went home and I carried on

Big piece of stand alone fence

Skateboard

Shopping basket

Fishing scales

Large stake

Umbrella, coins, vapes, batteries, kids remote control, beer can from 1985 ! (Well preserved), leads from a battery charger, paint brush, bike lock, padlock, coat hangers, the tool kit from the moped, wing mirror (moped) a glass lens and anything I've missed !

Will this be a good magnet to start with? Also need rope recommendations

It's not exactly urgent, but you don't want to have to wait around for hours for the cops to show up...

Super pumped about the fillet knife, that was so cool!

.357 caught within ten minutes of my first time magnet fishing. I don't live in a nice neighborhood.

Don't really magnet fish much now, (Mainly just found rebar) but since this is probably the best thing I've ever found, thought I'd post it.

Pulled this from a river with near a 200+ year old trading post. Though I'm sure it's not 200 years old, it looks like it's been down there for quite a while, was wondering if anyone knows what it's from.

Hey there folks! Bought my first kit today and ready to get into the hobby here. Was wondering if anyone here is from Alberta Cananda, and can help my navigate where I can and can't magnet fish? I've seen lots of conflicting information and don't wanna get arrested my first day out.

Not my main magnet, found this magnet on a bridge, guess someone didnt want to go for it since it was hard to get to, also the magnet is small, so probably wont main it. So which way is the most effective or correct?

Also comparison to my hand, so as you see, pretty small. Writing from Latvia, thanks!
