Evening gents, I believe that the sword handles you found are actually off cuts of railway track. The rippled burr on the one face is caused by flame cutting.

YOUR BACK!! It’s so great seeing the family back on the canals again. Dad’s looking good after his sad ordeal. Mum’s back behind the camera and of course there’s the world famous George. All happy and making treasured memories as a family. I just love it.

At 2:45 that looks like a slice of railroad track, I have one I found in my grandfather's old metal working tools. It was common back in the 50's to use them as small homemade anvils around here.

Were so happy to see you guys back in action ! Glad to know your father is doing better. Please let the camara lady know she dose a great job too.❤🎉🥳

Ahh, my favorite Magnetic fisherman from across the pond! Great to see you out there cleaning the waterways👍

That T shaped iron George pulled out looks like a slice of railway track.

There is definitely a feeling among your followers, myself included, to see your back in the SWING of things once again !!! I had no idea you were not feeling well, only that you were not making videos. I am thrilled that you have recovered and feel well enough to carry on the legacy that is "Magnetic G". Your smiles, and the excitement you feel at the treasures you pull out of the water have been much missed. God bless your family with renewed strength and health...welcome back from a fan all the way from Fryeburg, Maine 🦌

So happy to see you back, not knowing what happened to your Dad, it's wonderful he is well. May God bless all of you. Edited:on one of your videos your dad found a double cannon ball. I have one that I found here across the pond, I thought it was a weight lifting device.. hence..it was checked out with a historical society and found to be a double cannon ball.. thanks to you both, I learned it was worth a good pound/ dollar.

So tickled this morning to wake up with a notification from Magnetic George. My and husband and I were eager and excited to watch you guys again !!! So thankful your dad is feeling better and hopefully actually not having a lot of pain from the accident. You all take care and Have FUN !!!

The long thing with 4 holes @ about 20 minutes is called a Fishplate. It's purpose is to join 2 track lengths together with through bolts. There would be a Fishplate on each side if the rail, so the rail sections are sandwiched between. The flat item with the recess and 2 bolt holes is called a bed plate or pedestal, which spreads the weight of the track over a large area of the sleepers. These are bolted down to the sleepers with long bolts. They are used in conjunction with those curly springs, which are called Pandrol clips. The Pandrol clips keep the rails clamped down hard to the bed plate.

Great video George, really good to see your dad back and recovered.

So great to have you both back and to see your happy smiling faces. Great video and a fantastic haul. 👏. Do hope to see more videos in the not too distant future. 🙏

Glad to see you both healthy and out together again!

Good to see you out and making videos again. I don’t care what those guys are saying, you found a sword 🗡️😂. Never lose your imagination. Life would be boring without one.

Great to see you both back on the river, I hope Kev continues to improve after his ailment, What a find, outstanding.

Happy to see you all back. Hope dad continues to recover. Thanks to camera lady for the recording and happy to see you gentleman out recording again.

Glad to see Dad is back out swinging the magnet again. I sure hope he tries to clean up that sword blade and handle (if that is what it is and updates us on it when he has time. That was a really, really cool find! Look forward to seeing more videos of you guys again soon.

Glad to see your back !!!!!

When making approx 1million of the wiggly bits in 1970 at Bredbury Steel in Stockport, I never imagined they'd end up in rivers and canals, rather like scaff clamps. Glad to see you back.

Hi George and Mike! I so happen to be a railway enthusiast. I enjoy railroads/railways from around the world even though I'm from across the pond. You found some neat stuff. The heavy curled metal rings are Pantrol clips. They are used to hold the track to the sleeper using that big screw-bolt. The railway workers use a special machine to install those unlike the olden days when a gang of trackworkers using shovels, pick axes and mallets to clip the rails to the sleepers. Today, the process is even automated more with big rolling machines that not only place the clips, but also screw the track into place. Following behind are other machines that will ballast the track (the stones), and align the track to ensure smooth running. The big flat metal plate with the ridges on either side is used under the rails as they clip to the sleepers. A thinner piece of heavy steel with about 4-holes in it, that would be a fishplate. These are used to hold the rails together when they butt up against the ends. That big T-shaped piece of iron is a cut off piece of rail. The trackworkers must've trimmed a piece of rail to make the rails fit together not unlike a model railway except much bigger. The smaller piece of rail is most likely from the guide rails used on bridges. These are smaller weight rails that are placed inside the track to catch a train and prevent it from going off a bridge. (They don't always work but mostly do!). That handle-thing appears to be a turnbuckle. On your railways, you use chains to link the rolling stock (wagons and coaches) together. There is a turnbuckle to tighten the connection to ensure that the coaches and wagons are tight against the buffers between them. Here in the US and Canada, we use a different coupling system that uses big hooks that connect together. They are actually much safer than the chains.

Great to see you guys back out again, some great finds and interesting finds too. Make sure you let us see what you end up doing with those track clips! Stay Safe & Keep Pulling!!

Good to see you guys again!

Glad you're back! Great video, Gents. Cheers!

Glad your back!! Look forward to seeing more of your videos! Like seeing father and son doing things together.

Glad to see you guys back at it , I enjoy your vids

Good to see you back ... the straight piece of metal with the 4 bolt holes that Dad picked up around 20 mins is a track joining plate, where 2 lengths of rail meet.

So nice, to have the both of you back 😊.

Great to see you guys back. Been missing your magnet fishing. Tyler, Texas watching.

Oh wow! Brilliant to see you back. i look to see if you have posted every day, i was getting worried. Hope you are both ok. Missed you two. George has grown so much! Really made my night.

Nice to see y’all back at it. That plate George first pulled up is used to join two sections of rail

@3.20 is that not an off cut of rail section?

Glad you're back, stay well and keep fishin'!!

Glad to see y'all back! Hope your dad is back to his old self!☺

Welcome back! Kept looking for you.

So happy to see you all once again !!!! Please keep making your wonderful videos !!!!! Happy Healthy New Year to you !!!!

Glad to see you guys back, Pops you look great , looking forward to seeing your videos again

@ 3:45. It's a cross view of a rail track. That's been cut with a cutting torch. That's what made the lines on one side.

Glad you lot are back

The long plate with the Four holes on are Fish plates, so called because they have oval holes to allow for track expansion in hot weather to prevent buckling, they are mobile connections that move with the track. Those track chairs are modern ones, as the older types had Four holes.

Very glad to see you all back. Didn't know dad was sick/hurt???? So happy all is well. George you must be so happy to be back as you can hardly wait to throw ur magnet back in the water not even listening to ur dad!!!! Ah, to be young again!!!! God bless all of you and keep you safe. Love from Kentucky!
