Used one of them on boat ramps around lake Livingston. Found a truck load of rusty tools, car parts, and 2 cheap hand guns. Traded it to a old trout liner who wanted to use it to find a steamship sunk in the 1800 around Trinity Texas. Don't know if he found it but I got 60# of cat fish, so I win. Right???
I can see were it could come in handy, might have to get a new one, that was ten years age eat the fish guess I will pay cash.

Catfish is what the wife wants for dinner, I make it Cajun and top it with my homemade creole sauce. I will have to look into one of those magnets that looks cool.

I've got a couple really strong magnets...found one horseshoe magnet that must weigh about ten pounds(too heavy to be practical for using as retrieval magnet) and has a really strong pull...found it with a metal detector where an old mechanical shop had been located. I've only "magnet-fished" a few times and only found junk but the potential is there to find recently lost guns,tools, and tacle boxes, etc. Who knows what someone may have dropped overboard while getting in a boat or fishing on a dock or pier. I've heard of folks using these magnets to lower down old wells in hopes of lifting a cast iron pot or other comtainer with gold or silver, etc. inside it...very unlikely, but I guess it's possible.

I have one and it's not all that good. You have to have it exactly on a flat surface to get anywhere near the rated load. If you want a serious magnet check ebay for "lifting magnet". They have several extreme lifters if you can afford it. One lifts 7,000 lbs.

Be very careful if anyone purchases some of the "lifting" neodymium magnets. Their power to size ratio is very deceiving. I have purchase the 1? cubes, 1? sphere, and 1? thick X 2? round. They are amazingly strong. When the 1? cubes are stuck to each other most people can not separate them. People would swear I had pinned them together somehow. I once seen a buddy let the spheres roll together between his fingers on the skin between the two. He cried like a baby while we tried to take them apart.

One more thing. Once the nickel coating is cracked they very quickly deteriorate in the air. The spheres were half gone in 6 months after cracking.
