Huge knife find with my magnet.

[cyberdan]

Sorry, I lied. The blade is only 1.25"

But this thread has died down and I wanted to get something going. So I want to know (and see) what junk you all have been finding. I had been throwing my magnet off of a fishing pier into the Humboldt Bay for about an hour and gave up because the tide was going out real fast and I had not gotten a single thing. Later when cleaning things at home I saw the blade.

There was one spot where the magnet would stick to something and it was a tug of war to pull it off. I tried several times to pull it up but it might just be a steel beam from an older pier that used to be in the same spot.

It was probably a motorcycle that was stolen.........

Just received my magnet for Xmass but all the water near me is frozen so no magnet fishing.

My husband recovered a motorcycle magnet fishing with one of those neodymium magnets.

The same day he also recovered a pocket knife my dad dropped at the marina the year before. I cleaned it up and my dad used it for another few years.

Just ordered my magnet, never been magnet fishing. I got a neodymium one with 500# pull and is 3.25" in diameter. Thinking in hindsight a 500# maybe a bit much and figure I will find some cool stuff or get the magnet stuck on something that I will not be able to pull it off of. Time will tell![emoji12][emoji12]

my magnet only has a 150# pull ($9 from harbor freight) when it found that hunk of metal it was literally a tug of war. i didn't want to just yank it off, I wanted to see if I could free it from the muck.

That's when you switch over to a weighted grapnel! Make sure you add another rope to the bottom to pull backwards if you get snagged.

You might not be lying! To a short guy that blades huge!!
