  3. Broken eyelet on fishing magnet.

    So, I went magnet fishing at a dock and the dock had steel rims and steel walls. By accident the magnet got stuck, It is a 330 lb pull magnet and was very hard to move at all. I began pushing it off the dock with my foot when it slammed on the side. I then repeated the process until it was...

  5. Well, damn. There is gold in that stream after all! Thinking of a plan.

    So, funny thing happened to me this weekend. Collected some magnetite from a backyard stream for my first go at smelting iron. (Just built my first forced air propane crucible furnace.) Used a magnate to pull the magnetite from the stream bed clay. There I was Saturday grinding up a couple of...
  6. Ridiculous backyard tests with 500 lb cone magnet (you might be a redneck)

    Deer season is winding down, the temps are mild but too cold to venture to the creeks with my wild children in tow. So what do we on the evenings I'm not deer hunting? Eh, usually this kind of ridiculous stuff. On a serious note, we are trained hillbilly professionals and no beer cans were...
  7. Testing out my magnet hillbilly style

    I've been magnet fishing for about 2 years now. When I first started, the hobby wasn't that well-known here in the U.S. Lately, however, it seems to be growing in popularity. As I've said before, it really is an underrated hobby. It doesn't demand much preparation, it's easy to do with your kids...

  11. Best find in 2014 - magnet fishing

  12. A frugal guide to making Scoop magnet

    A Scoop Magnet for the frugal. I got all the parts at the local hardware store less than $4.00 There are magnets in different sizes I opted for the 16 pound rating (if the bobbi pin is bigger than that its time for ice cream) Also look at the magnet and choose the one with the hole in the...
  13. I love my new Pro Mag!

    So as a ritual over the years I like to hit up schools in the summer that are open to the public when school is out. I find that many of the sand and wood chip tot lots can produce a lot of clad, real and fake jeiwelery and millions of nails, paper clips and junk. I found myself bending over and...
