I've had experience salvage diving Spanish Treasure Galleons. It isn't uncommon to find non magnetic silver and gold coins 'concreted' onto iron artifacts. This is due to galvanic reaction from dissimilar metals touching each other in an electrolyte over time. The electrolyte can be sea water, as in my experience, or it can be 'fresh' water with a high tannic or other acidic content resulting from decaying vegetation etc. in the water. The bottom line is CHECK YOUR CRUD! What you sometimes call "magnetic stones" could be concretions containing precious metals such ss gold and silver.
The only problem I have with having extra mic's is the editing time it would take, I work full time and edit till late at night as it is, need more family time
Great to see such a good relationship with the angling folk on the river, if anybody would really appreciate you pulling all that junk out from the waterways, it should be them, afterall you are cleaning up the environment of the fish they want to so badly catch.
did you find the dates of the coins some looked old like me , did ahon play rugby at some stage he looks like he might have thats why i asked👍🤙 keep up the good work . terry
The first and third shackles you found are more correctly termed as "bow shackles". In some circumstances they are preferred as they as less likely to jam.
Still amazes me the stuff that people deposit in the water ways. I am sure there are a few that were dropped from boats and such, but most is stuff that someone had to intentionally put there. Good job on getting a lot of it out. 👍💪
If you think about all the cars, motobikes, scooters and bicycles that go missing, often for spare parts, the unwanted bits often end up in watercourses,out of sight.
Hey guys. Great video, thanks. I'm a newbie to this and I've just been sent a kit (early Christmas pressie) to go magnet fishing. May i ask what you do with the old metal bits/trolleys/pieces etc you find? Also how did you clean up those coins to make them shiny again? Thanks in advance. A massive thank you to you all for helping to clean up our waterways 🥰🤩 P.s I recently went shallow underwater detecting with a Pulsedive detector. It was a great couple of days pulling out old scrap and coins totalling 39p 🤣 The most interesting find was an old iron 😋🙂
