I'm always looking for something fun to do with my family and this magnet has given us a thrill! We've been to several bridges and piers and every time we go the anticipation and excitement of what we will bring up is crazy. So far my wife has found a brand new spinning rod, my daughter has found up a huge framing hammer and fishing pliers, and I've pulled out at least a few hundred pounds of metal! Can't wait to hit the river when it gets low!
