I tried that once with a SUPER strong neodymium magnet I had. Sucker LATChED onto something and I couldn't pull it up. Finally broke the rope pulling on it.

I suspect engine block involvement.

Since most of the water is ankle deep around here these days, it don't hurt to walk through it, pretty much anywhere you are and have at it. Water's warm! Walk in!
