Most of what I found was keys and coins, mostly coppers but I might have a quid total if I’m lucky! Not sure who accepts dirty, heavily tarnished coins though.

Two bikes this time, but I’m pretty sure there’s two more down there in the mud. It’s really thick mud in that section so I think all the heavy scrap is sunk in there deep down.

I developed a bit of an audience while trying to pull out the second bike and got a round of applause when I eventually pulled it out! It was good to brighten some people’s day but I think I’ll go somewhere quieter next time. As always I was very pleasantly surprised with the overwhelming majority having positive reactions to what I was doing, and one woman even came and had a go.

Most interesting finds were these two Israeli coins and one Indian coin:

    Shame you can only pull out ferromagnetic coins!

    Great finds! So far I’ve only tried fishing in the Danube and I have a few rusty nails to show for it!

    brb gonna sub to every magnet fishing community now…

    Edit: I guess this is the only community.

      I was saying to a passer by that it’s a shame that pound coins aren’t magnetic. Everyone asks about gold but I’ve got no chance of finding any this way.

      I couldn’t find a magnet fishing community, so I created one here. I would welcome posts from anywhere in the world.

      Where abouts on the Danube did you go?
