I've been struggling to get out with my magnet so far this year, so instead I made this board to display some of my finds on.
I've never really done any woodworking apart from maybe a small project at secondary school, so I enjoyed putting this together and picking up some basic skills in doing so.
I only dropped in to say I love your username. Also cool board, how would one get started in magnet fishing? What happens if you larch onto something too big to haul out
Thanks. All you really need to get started at a minimum is a magnet, a rope and some protective gloves. I use Magnetar for my magnets and I use their ropes too.
I've not lost a magnet yet but I have resorted to using my car to pull it out on two occasions now, and I bought a hand winch in case I ever can't pull it out and I can't get my car near. Both times I think the magnet was wedged rather than just magnetised to something, a good yank can overcome even the strongest fishing magnet.
