Mills Bombs were in service from WW1 up to the 1980s so could have ended up in canals during training and could have been taken home and years later been found and thrown into canals to dispose of them. The pieces prove that they didn't fragment along the lines as people thought they were designed for. They were designed that way for grip.

Thanks for the info, much appreciated. We weren’t really sure how the grenades ended up in the rivers. Interesting about the segmentation being for grip. Thanks for watching 👍👍

Today looked like a good haul. Especially the midevil cleaver your son found. Hope no murders were committed with that weapon. Maybe that skeleton key belonged to King Arthur? 😳🤭🤨🤔

That fork, if that's what it is, that's super old. And I like that old fly rod reel. I was wondering what you clean your steel with ? The good stuff yall keep.

Thank you for your comment, yes it is a great hobby for us to share. We are from Nottinghamshire in the U.K.. Thanks for watching 👍

Thanks for sharing this with us James, what an interesting guy to have met! you never know the grenades could have been live we heard a story once of a little old lady who had one for years that her husband had brought home, she was using it as a door stop 😳

Thanks for collecting all those bits of grenade. I might make a clip of that, since it's rare to see them all together like that

Thank you for you for your comment and info, we thought it may be a bridal bit but wasn’t sure. Thanks for watching 👍👍

Absolutely! Thanks for watching 👍

Hi David it’s still awaiting restoration, our restoration pile is quite large! Hope you enjoyed the video, thanks for watching 👍

Good to hear fro you, we had some interesting old bits that day, made a change from the modern stuff we usually pull out. Hope you and family are staying well 👍👍

Thank you for your comment, yes it could be we never thought of that. Hope you enjoyed the video, thanks for watching 👍

Wasn’t sure what the chain was it could well have been fencing and for thanks for the info on what we thought was a calculator. Thanks for watching 👍👍

God forbid it was used for a horses bit!

Thank you for the info it’s much appreciated! Thanks for watching 👍

Thank you for your comment, I’m assuming you’re from the U.S, we do have different names for things in the U.K.it’s crazy! Hope you enjoyed the video, thanks for watching 👍

Thank you for your comment, yes if only finds could talk we have often said that! It really is crazy what we find nothing surprises us anymore, you name it we’ve found it. Thanks for watching 👍

Yes we do too 😊

Good to hear from you, we did have a great variety of finds that day. The key was a nice find quite an early one. Thanks for watching 👍👍

nebraska fan thank you for your comment, it was cold that day despite it being sunny! Thanks for watching 👍👍

Thank you for your comment, yes his art project was a big success, he was able to take some great photographs! He’s still scrubbing bottles now and learning all about them which is keeping him busy, plus given him a new found interest. Thanks for watching 👍👍

Thank you for your comment, getting pollutants out of our waterways is one of the reasons we like to magnet fish, if we find something interesting along the way it’s a bonus! We hope that our KZfaq videos highlight just how much stuff gets dumped into our rivers and canals. The vast majority of people are completely unaware that it’s there. Thanks for watching 👍

Good to hear from you, yes the padlock was great, we find quite a lot of those. The tiny silver charms in the bag were interesting. The moon also had some writing on it which we didn’t notice until we got home. It said love you to the moon and back. Both items were stamped real silver. George couldn’t stop rummaging around in the sand for his grenade fragments. He’s actually managed to find most of it. Nice souvenir for him! As always thanks for watching 👍👍

Sorry that we don’t upload really often like some channels do, dads work and my school get in the way 😬😬😬

Thank you for your comment, yes we did have some nice finds that day. Thanks for watching 👍👍

I’d never seen any like those before thanks for watching 👍👍

Gail Palmer thanks hope you have a great evening too 👍👍

Janet Doten thank you for your comment, yes it’s incredible what is in the rivers and canals. Nothing we find surprises us anymore, you name it we’ve found it! Thanks for watching 👍👍

Graham Worsdall we are actually from Nottinghamshire but live very close to Lincolnshire boarders

yes it turned into a lovely sunny day, still freezing cold though 🥶

Thank you for your comment, yes it sure is! Judging by passerby’s comments when we magnet fish, they are all very supportive of what we are doing. Hope you enjoyed the video, thanks for watching 👍

Thank you for your comment, that’s a great idea. Thanks for watching 👍👍

Yes it could well have been, if only our finds could tell us their story! Hope you enjoyed the video, thanks for watching 😊

@@Magneticg Yip thanks it is fascinating. Gets the imagination going. Lamees Ahmad

Thank you for your comment, we are very well and as far as we know there are no confirmed cases near to where we live, we hope it remains that way. Hope you and your family stay safe. Thanks for watching 👍👍

Saw your latest video, your dad took a tumble there. Luckily it wasn't in the canals, I'm sure the water is still chilly. You almost took a tumble there when you washed your boots. Your face was priceless, when the lid closed, you had muck all over. Think about carrying some handi wipes. Glad you are well, stay safe.

Lol glad I caught dads fall on camera that was priceless 😂😂 I was hoping no one noticed me almost falling out of the bucket 😬 yes wet wipes would be a good idea I think 👍

pleased you enjoyed the video, thanks for watching 👍👍

Thank you for your comment, we did find a lot of old stuff here. Did you see the video we made when we were here the previous week? Here’s a link Incase you haven’t watched it kzfaq.info/get/bejne/i8d1p8mErJ6lnoU.html

Thank you for your comment, the key was a great find. It looks a lot older than the keys we usually find. Thanks for watching 👍

Hi Paula we had a great day that day. Feel sorry for you at the minute bet you are so busy 😢

Magnetic g ahh thank you George that’s really kind of you to consider that. Yes it’s hard but I’m still smiling ( for now ) lol x

We did have a million great finds that day, the horn was great find. I can never drag George away, we often fish until way past dark! Thanks for watching 👍👍

@@Magneticg I love his love for magnet fishing and love the time you dedicate to him 😊

Treasure Vixens George would magnet fish 24/7 if we let him 😂

Thank you for your comment, we did have some great finds. it was an enjoyable day. Thanks for watching 👍👍

Thank you for your comment and info, that’s really helpful. We didn’t have a clue what it could be. Thanks for watching 👍👍

I was thinking about that as well. If they created some art work i would totally buy something.

Some of the finds are fragile or antique and even Midevil tools, old war memorabilia etc please check into your local museum or curator before doing ANY cleaning ,scraping or use any kind of chemicals (Unless your keeping for yourself)..White tooth paste ,baking soda and vinegar are great for jewerly ...Gently buff with water and a soft cloth,...Some of these items are well sought after and collected and the museum may be interested in the pieces..Some will buy items from you and they also will display them for you (on a loan display and pay you) ..You do find some awesome gifts..You have alit of war ,midevil items..Thank you for all the great videos..

Thanks for the cleaning tips, do you mean mix the toothpaste, baking soda and vinegar together?

@@Magneticg Sometimes I just use plain white tooth paste and a little water, sometime the vinegar and baking soda or you can mix all. Awesome for jewelry..(I make a lil paste it can be a little on the wet side..and use a soft toothbrush ,after letting jewerly soak a little,be careful if there are any gems or crystals as over time the setting and or prongs could weaken and they could fall.(I collect antique jars (vinegar is awesome for glass soaked in hot water and vinegar..i am a semiprecious and precious metals collector ,jewelry is my favorite..after you clean always buff with a soft cloth..I used to love cloth baby diapers,eye glasses clothes..Do not use paper towels or regular towels...Watch especially jewelry clean up and shine... .Mudd is a great preservative at times as it sat together buried ,and the grit and stones then the air can ruin and deteriorate very quickly. ) out.. If you do believe it may be a fragile piece or piece of history that is very old Maybe a Roman piece of pottery,war memorabilia, midevil keep in original state and then I would contact a couriator of possibly the museum a collector etc.. Do not use anything abrasive ,cleaner or salt as it can actually scratch and destroy , etc(especially with very old coins,especially a coin such as a hammered fragile coin. .If you were thinking of selling the item it will drop the value ..It is best to keep to it's original state..Now if it is something your keeping for yourself say maybe the Padlocks,Warm water in salt and baking soda is awesome ..Also come a cola will eat away rust of anything.(Drop a rusty nail in a glass of the pop(soda) and watch...) Crazy.. I Hope this help ya out..I'm just a average person who lives to collect preserve , repurpose not a professional..Over the years these are things I have used from advise of professionals..As an artist if anyone ever finds artwork,never run your fingers,a cloth or brush over the art ,use air..If the item you can also try air pressure,but obviously not going to work if it was submerged in water..Good luck..and let me know you feed back..Love and Light my friends..⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐KEEP ON SHINING BRIGHT! ((MawDuKeStheGoOdWiTcH))

Lori Miller thanks so much for the tips, did you watch our live bottle digging video? We found hundreds and hundreds of old bottles plus 5 live snakes which were a bit of a surprise 😬

We found a lot of interesting things that day! Thanks for watching 👍

Thank you for your comment, yes that’s something we are thinking of doing. Did you ever see the full restoration of the BSA air rifle we found in the canal? We restored it back to shooting as good as the day it was new. I’ll post you a link to the video I case you haven’t watched it kzfaq.info/get/bejne/frWSZ6mjta65iJ8.html

Thank you pleased you enjoyed it 👍👍

Hi Kenneth, pleased to hear you enjoyed the video! Take care and thanks for watching 👍

We like them too, we will be cleaning them up 👍👍

Thank you for your comment, pleased you found our channel and enjoyed our video! We are from Nottinghamshire in the U.K. Thanks for watching 👍

Good to hear from you, yes we do tend to get the older finds from out of the rivers, it probably is something to do with the regular dredging of the canals. Thanks for watching 👍👍

Thank you for your comment, pleased you are enjoying our videos! Hope you have some great finds once your magnet arrives. Where abouts are you from?

@@Magneticg oh i am enjoying your videos alot. I'm from Washington state. I live in the great but not so great Pacific northwest. Where in the UK are you guys from?

PNW Magnet Fishing we are from Nottinghamshire in the U.K.

@@Magneticg oh wow your a great distance away from me lmao. I have a buddy who lives over in Newark upon Nottingham. His name is nick Atherton lol. If you ever meet him hes a twat. But hes been my bestfriend for about 3 years now. I think its absolutely gorgeous over there. How are yall doing with this coronavirus?

PNW Magnet Fishing wow small world we are not far away from Newark On Trent, not heard of your friend. Corona virus means we are on lockdown at the moment, there’s no loo rolls, hand sanitizer or pasta to be found anywhere!!

Dads going to like reading this comment thanks for watching 👍👍

Thank you for your comment, yes we had some really interesting finds that day! Thanks for watching 👍

Thank you for your comment, we aren’t actually from Leicester but we have fished it quite a lot. Leicester is a great place and the people we’ve met there have been amongst the friendliest we have encountered. We hope we can get back out again soon, we do have some videos that haven’t been uploaded yet so hopefully we’ll keep everyone entertained! Thanks for watching 👍👍

Gail Palmer we found a lot of interesting old stuff that day made a change from finding modern rubbish 👍👍

Thank you for your comment, a museum of old magnet fishing finds sounds a great idea! You should definitely give magnet fishing a go you’d have a lot of fun. Not sure if the company we get our double sided magnets from ship abroad but you could ask them. They are called online magnets 👍👍

Thanks i will look into that Looking forward to yr next video, and thanks for getting back with me

Nice to hear from you, we had a lot of interesting finds that day. Thanks for watching 👍👍

More wheels than tools in that river lol we found about 50 that day 😂😂 thanks for watching mate 👍👍👍

Phil Cullen Hi Phil good to hear from you, fortunately the grenades aren’t that common a find. Hopefully won’t be finding another one any time soon, the last one was a bit of a scare. Hope you and family are all well and have not had the virus. As always thanks for watching 👍👍

@@Magneticg Good to hear, and yes, hopefully no more grenades! Everything ticking along as well as can be expected here at this stage, and I hope you and your family will be ok as well. Looking forward to your next magnet fishing trip.

Phil Cullen glad to hear you and family are okay 👍👍

Thank you for your comment, pleased you enjoyed the video! Thanks for watching 👍

Thank you for your comment, may your family be blessed too. Thanks for watching 👍👍

Thank you for your comment, we thought similar. Unfortunately it was that rotten once dried out it literally fell to pieces it crumbled. Hope you enjoyed the video, thanks for watching 👍

Thank you for your comment, yes it could well have been a boot heel plate. Thanks for watching 👍👍

Thank you for your comment, yes it was a great location we did return once on the same side of the river and then we magnet fished on the opposite side of the river I’ll post the links to the two videos kzfaq.info/get/bejne/i8d1p8mErJ6lnoU.html kzfaq.info/get/bejne/Zq9kdcJ7z7TPpnk.html

Thank you for your comment, yes we did find some great old tools that day. Thanks for watching 👍👍

Thank you for your comment , we were in Lincoln that day. Check out what we found in the same spot the week before, here’s the link to the video kzfaq.info/get/bejne/i8d1p8mErJ6lnoU.html 👍

Hi Andy yes it could well be! Hope you enjoyed the video, thanks for watching 👍

Thank you for your comment, we use the 200kg double sided magnets from a company called online magnets. would highly recommend them. I’ll post you a link p,us if you use the promo code Mag10 you’ll get 10% off onlinemagnets.co.uk/60mm-x-25mm-neodymium-recovery-magnet-metal-detector-treasure-hunting-200kg-pull If this link doesn’t work when you try it, the website is having some maintenance done today it should be finished in a couple of hours. Just keep trying 👍

@@Magneticg Great, thank you so much. You were right about the downtime on the website but just remembered to have another look and I think I'll get one! And thanks for the code too 😊 Look forward to seeing your latest finds. Stay safe 🤗

Thanks for the info, we weren’t sure what the steering wheel and other parts were from. There’s a lot of stuff in that small stretch of river, presumably been a dumping ground for quite some time. Thanks for watching 👍👍

The little moon unbeknown to us at the time has some writing on it, it says love you to the moon and back. The other silver charm said I love you. Both are stamped as silver. It could well be a little offering of some sort. The wind chimes you make are a great idea! Thanks for watching 👍👍

Thank you for your comment, yes it was a nice key, we find a lot of keys in the rivers. Makes you wonder how they all end up there. Thanks for watching 👍
