Magnet fishing in the ocean???

[Brody]

I am making a trip to the beach soon and I always detect and find some cool irons pieces. But this time I will still detect but I would like to try magnet fishing from the shore. Have any of you tried this at the beach, and do you think that their will be stuff out there to find?

If your looking for iron items go for it. Use a stout rope as you could lose the magnet to an anchor.

Thanks for the advice I think think that I will give it a try!

I did that a lot a a kid. I went to the local pier. My haul was always tackle boxes, knifes, poles, crab nets, and a few times 3' long bolts and Large nuts that had fallen out of the pier!

Any steel or iron object in an ocean environment will most likely be roached...what's the benefit?

Use your MD unit and find worthwhile objects with less effort...

like metal detecting good targets and junk targets, newly drop, and lost a long time ago.

I will be on the Delaware coast and Me and my buddy's have had great luck on the sand and shallow water finding Inert training bombs, fuzes, and ship spikes, Back after the war the military dumped TONS of things off shore and some has washed up. If you want a great fun place to search try the Fenwick Island area! A lot of it is very crusty but still can worth while. Thanks for the comments and I am exited to try it a little.

I think it could work around a pier and far out from the waves breaking. Anything near shore is going to be buried under 3 feet of sand (well, here in Fl anyway, maybe not up north on the rocky coasts)

Thats a good point flgliderpilot I was concerned about that also.

This is a hobby. Have fun.
