I was saying to a passer by that it's a shame that pound coins aren't magnetic. Everyone asks about gold but I've got no chance of finding any this way.
I couldn't find a magnet fishing community, so I created one here. I would welcome posts from anywhere in the world.
Where abouts on the Danube did you go?
Cheers! I'll post if I find anything post worthy!
Budapest. The Danube is my backyard fishing spot I guess! I have heard you can pull out some good stuff but as I've said only nails here so far. Though the larger WW2 shells they found this week (yet again) can stay away from me, tyvm.
I've been meaning to find a better body of water, but first I need to convince myself to research and then my friends to go out!
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.
