I could see getting into that.
I’m about to take a metal detector to my property soon. A fella with a map showed up about 22 yrs ago and said a civil war battle was fought in our area including our property and asked if he could take a quick look. In fairly short order he found a musket ball and a confederate belt buckle.
Maybe I’ll find something interesting. I did find an Indian ax head a few yrs back quite by accident.
I would enjoy this magnet fishing.

- @jst1ofknd @RiotDemon Ahh but do those lakes have actual water in them all of the year. I remember when I lived in Norman and I drove on a bridge over a so called river and working lawnmowers were cutting the grass on the river bed. I nearly drove off the road laughing.

The best part is that this Florida couple were magnet fishing “for precious metals”.

(To buy more meth with is probably not a bad guess.)

I thought maybe your new hobby was going to be “I frequently post totally random topics on a daily deal forum”.

Another place to try magnet fishing is in marinas and places where boats gather to anchor.
