Magnet fishing from my motorized kayak on the Potomac river seemed like a good thing to try. So I journeyed out into the river current for an adventure and magnet fishing good time. I stopped at several sites to include an old ferry, old bridge, several dumps and even a colonial era iron furnace. I was recently sent a powerful magnet by an Amazon seller "Wukong" to test and on this trip I learned just how powerful this new magnet really is. Here is an affiliate link to the magnet I used in this video. www.amazon.com...

I do not blame Beau for the rubbish, nor do I expect him to be the River Janitor or Caretaker. Beau is someone who takes us there, shows us what is there and points out the conditions, the environment, the weather ( good & bad), the Flora ( e.g. poison ivy) and fauna ( e.g. fire ants). He’s not there as a stand in housekeeper of the wilderness. When detectorists dig, they haul out more junk & rubbish than treasure, at least when I dig, I do. When I walk in the forest or on the beach, I have a bag for the random rubbish I find. Not much, but the odd bits. Before you start on other folk, make sure you are squeaky clean. We have a saying in NZ “ take only pictures, leave only footprints”. Adults leave places cleaner than they found them, that is one of the reasons I am a fan of this channel. Shame on you critics. Shame. Go on a Volunteer Cleanup in your neighbourhood before you start on someone else. Honestly. Some folk.🤦🏼‍♀️🌸

Hi Chigs,...great vid as usual,...just an observation on the style of magnet your using; being fixed at the top, its great for dunking when you are over or above it, but, when you drag the magnet it straightway falls on its side, where there is the weakest force. the best way to use them \ have found is to fix a rope to the side so that you actually drag the face of the magnet over the mud/sand whatever. What do you think?? stay safe.
