A small number of viewers have suggested this was set up, or I knew the other magnet was there. This assumption is made because I kept throwing my magnet into the same area of water. This is how it happened. Things tend to get found on either side of a bridge and not underneath. Unfortunately an overhanging tree or bush prevented me from walking further along the riverbank to the left (downstream). So I decided to start underneath the bridge and work upstream - to the right. The plan was to find something

Haha!

Put one magnet in a vise and pound downward so it slides off. You’ll never be able to separate them pulling apart. Awesome vid.

I appreciate you posting this. I laughed so hard, tears rolled down my face. You took it in stride and you can carry on. Thank you

Now you have one for each hand!! Well done Rusty, a free magnet, and a twin to yours actually. Cheers

Rusty, this vid made my day! That's exactly how it would happen to me! LMFAO!!!💞

Oh... I think we've all had a laugh with the 'magnet fishing' and you find a magnet !! Who would have thought ?? I heard that about the only way to get them apart is to slide. Hope somehow you get them separated.

One idea: tie your magnet to any strong overhanging bar, such as a railing bar on a low bridge or a pedestrian thoroughfare, and tie the "new" magnet with a four-point rope to a wood pallet. And start piling heavy things like bricks onto the pallet. Pallet should only be a few centemeters off the ground, and the magnets tied immediately above so the freed one does not have far to fall. You may also want to wrap the new magnet in a small towel or wrap with duct tape to protect it as it snaps away from the other magnet.

Well looks like your truly stuck there, pulling apart won't be easy but good luck with that. Looking forward to your next adventure! ☺

Hilarious! Thank you for the giggle. 😂

Some great and hilarious suggestions there, but the simplest method I've found for getting magnets apart is to simply tap a wooden shim/wedge in between the magnets with a mallet and let the wedge do the work for you. That way there is nothing for the magnets to stick to, and no way to hurt yourself or damage your property.

I’m glad you told us what was the river and what was the magnet. I would’ve never figured it out! LOL! 😂🤣😂🤣

Hilarious...love the analogy at the end...lmao!

LOL!! This literally made me laugh out loud! Those magnets I’m sure can’t be very cheap! Great score!! 😂

haha What a thing to pull out first, and the fact it was exactly the same sized magnet, wow wouldn't wanna even consider the odds of that happening. Nice find, best of luck separating them, don't get your hands in between them. Thanks for sharing. Atb Dave

That's too funny! I never would've guessed that. Great vid

Hello from Texas! Just catching up on your videos. You honestly made me smile and laugh for the first time today. 😂

That's even better than going fishing and catching a fishing rod, which happens occasionally and is funny even when it happens. But catching a magnet while magnet fishing......that has to be a first! You fished up a good story to tell from here on out, that's for sure! You need to play the lottery!

I love watching your videos and " Only You .. Only You .. "Love it haha

robert from usa here. I liked your video. dont worry about what ppl think about set up, stranger things have happened, for damn sure. From one older guy to another, have fun and enjoy your hobby.
