Magnet Fishing For Fun And Profit: Spring 2016

[@dwaynesprospectingadventur4994]

its nice to know someone taking out the trash that some others failed to do, thanks for helping out to make sure other people can still enjoy the area.

[@kobuspietersen9741]

simplicity is the ultimate sophistication. referring to your modification to the magnet off-course!

[@angelinaduganNy]

I always look forward to when you upload a new video. I enjoy them very much.

[@ykhan98]

Probably not the first one to say this but you speak like you would be a great father for anyone. Weird for anyone to say, I know, but you are definitely a great guy to listen to. Great videos. :)

[@mcgaugh57]

That piece you found would make a great shelf for a relic.

[@HeyyBrey]

Totally!

[@WayaWolf]

Yea

[@tim_fan]

mcgaugh57 I just noticed it

[@rangerstl07]

Wheel chock painted safety orange. The bent hook thing is the crank off a car scissor jack. The hook slips in a loop in the end of the jack screw and you crank it to jack it up.

[@BassheadGTP]

That angle iron thing looks like a wheel chauk. And that other hook thing looks like the thing ud use to raise and lower the leveling jacks on a camper.

[@TheDude111]

Man, I love this channel. Always some wholesome fun. I always enjoy sittin back after a long day of work and watchin some A.C.

[@saneomnii3640]

Aqua when I first found your videos I didn't go outside now it makes me want to go to a lake and magnet fish and metal detect

[@enderlogan2439]

Cool I've been looking forward to seeing another magnet-fishing themed episode! Thanks for inspiration Aquachigger!

[@deadeye7667]

allways learn somthing from everyone of your videos buddy thanx for this

[@maxx-stro6592]

+Aquachigger i do magnet fishing for fun

[@ErlefromVa]

Wheel chock and DIY fishing rod holder! The plastic shield explained, I should have watched the next episode before asking the question! HWH Beau

[@W1se0ldg33zer]

You don't want to toss it out the entire length of the rope so you can keep some slack. That way if you get hung up, you just take the rope in one hand and pretend you're trying to crack a whip by flinging it down. It'll travel the length to the hang up and hopefully come free. It takes practice which I had from my rowboat anchor hanging up a lot in my fav fishing pond. Works when your hook gets hung up too.

[@getin3949]

Necessity is truly the Mother or Chigger of invention.

[@faithteumer3375]

The first thing you found was a tire stopper, you can just slide it behind the tire. We use one for our camper when we go camping.

[@mercedithcompala8148]

Look like something that we could try, good family fun...

[@maryhelen1011]

That was so fun! I could watch you do this all day! I def want to make a line magnet! Happy treasure hunting!

[@marcodijkman100]

be sure when trowing it in fast moving rivers dont attach the rope to good to ur arm or other bodyparts and get a driftlog attached and taking u downstream. the bottlecap is a verry nice addition for sure.

[@tymesho]

great idea with the "cone". we do it with one of us in a kayak with a pull pole. might want to consider using a "taught line hitch" knot for your wrist. a lot less chaffing/more precise fit. also maybe a Palomar knot for the other end, smaller/stronger, and the result is two lines around the eye of the magnet for strength. it's not an easy sport, but so much fun!

[@mrsheol]

Thank you for putting on the goggles! Perfect end!

[@mgfarmer1]

I'M GOING TO INCLUDE A KAYAK WITH MY MAGNET FISHING. LOVE YOUR VLOGS.

[@ChewysExploration]

Little trick I've learnt for getting stuck (when fishing for fish) is just loosen the line a very little, lift rod up and bring down quite fast.. making a wave go down the line and making the weight, hook or lure travel away from you. Maybe it will work for magnets caught in branches under the water :)

[@osmia3561]

Thanks for the vid, enjoyed it. If you tie a loop in your rope 50cms above your magnet you can get way more distance. Not adviced in loggy areas, and bring more rope :)

[@labrd41]

I think you could improve that design by using a plastic funnel along with a stainless spring keeping the funnel off the magnet. Would give you a better deflection angle.

[@jimgrisham6054]

thanks man ,glad your back

[@stephaniemccoy6562]

we used to use those round magnets..ours were 115# test strength...and they are sooo strong when against flat surface of metal ...for sure

[@charlie_4987]

the forks of the trees normally face away from the current because of resistance so if you throw the magnet upstream there is less chance of catching up on logs

[@ronaldw3498]

The second piece you pulled out looks like a crank that flat bed trucks use to roll their straps back up with.

[@lynnmoore2664]

Really enjoy watching your videos ,you hg Ave some very interesting ones to watch thank you for posting!!

[@terracottafern]

been watching you, and I really enjoyed the videos where u go underwater with the camera to find things. but so far, I really enjoy ya. ur awesome keep up the good work!

[@frankiecowsert9364]

Indeed, did Mousie make it? It was so small......I've thought a lot about that little tiny baby. If it didn't make it ....it sure isn't because you and Lindsey didn't try. You have such a soft heart. Yes, I believe you've come up with something here...didn't loose your magnet and found a treasure....Good Job.....(maybe you can market that...haaa)

[@camprandy]

that metal bent bar was a tool that you use on trucks to lower the spare tire from under your truck. Its a hand crank.

[@johnstevenson9429]

just a thought chig.....maybe try the top of a two liter soda bottle. The slope from the top to the neck of the bottle is more gradual and might slide out of the branches a little better...happy hunting

[@blockhead-]

Hey Beau, have you ever been to Gettysburg and search for relics?

[@richardklapka5147]

I like it. Watching old Chig videos again. Rk.

[@aquachigger]

Happy to see that.

[@rammice]

Bobbers in the tree behind Chig at the end lol

[@mustang8812822]

deer hide.....gross! , lol, that angle iron make a nice shelf fer bullets...wishing warmer waters for you, ,,, cant wait for the RAY BAN s!

[@OldButStillKicking]

Recently saw your video where you demonstrate how dangerous a magnet can be and how much weight the different sizes can grab. Great demo with the plastic shield. Will have to see if you still use. Thanks, Professor.

[@robertchillcott7669]

I'm glad I watched your video, I've got a couple of nice anchor's I've got snagged in the river while kayaking

[@joelburns3538]

I had a PVC pipe end cap and have been using that this Winter with a bit of success. In deep water use a lift and drop technique. It's much less frustrating than a shallow water drag. LOL 1

[@scottsluggosrule4670]

If you make a loop through your loop it will automatically tighten onto your wrist and be less likely to fly off.

[@sh1fka160]

"I'm goona use this V to battle that V" lmao.

[@minnesotaoutdoorsnorth]

I believe the plastic did not interfere because you are at 80 degree angle...when you throw it out in front of you it is more like 10 degrees therefore the plastic will come in contact first and go right over it... Gary

[@pedz07]

great video I love watching them keep up the great work

[@Outamyhead]

The first thing you got looks like a wheel chock.

[@MrKmoconne]

I've seen something like that little metal "roof" you found on stuff sticking up out of the ground along roads. Maybe welded to the marker where a mains shut-off is and it would have a number painted on either side of the "peak." The orange looks kinda "official." Can find any pictures of what I remember. You could weld a handle to it and make it the world's smallest hod carrier.

[@THing4CSA]

That triangle item looks like a wheel chock for a truck tire! Congrats and thanks for sharing good info! Happy Searching! ;-)

[@braidongreer2172]

It's defiantly not a wheel chock it is an aerial natural gas pipeline marker so aerial patrols can clearly record pipeline routes. they are usually painted red or yellow and have up to a 3 digit number usually seen in rural areas where pipelines aren't messed around with as much

[@Gborohooo]

"I'm going to use this V to battle that V" ~ Aquachigger 2016

[@djquack13]

That's awesome! You could probably find a funnel that would work better than an old bottle. maybe...

[@DavidSmith-jy1rw]

always enjoy your videos

[@wilsocn]

I found an 80 dollar Mares swim mask this year while walking along the gulf. It was in the head of winter and not a soul around so it came back with me. Perfect condition too.

[@gooutside6055]

looks like great fun. I look forward to getting a new metal detector. I have just started uploading outdoor videos. cant wait to treasure hunt.

[@BeachHunter101]

Hi Beau, awesome video. I've always wanted to try magnet fishing I'll have to give it a go in the summer. I have seen some videos of people magnet fishing and they take a boat in the middle of a lake or a river and bob the magnet up and down it looks a very productive way to do it. By the way thanks for your videos they are awesome!

[@BeachHunter101]

+Aquachigger Maybe it was your video I watched lol.. :)

[@ThisFish888]

If you get snagged deeper out you maybe could try sliding a short but heavy piece of pipe down the line, just hold your end high and slide the pipe downwards into the water and when it comes to the end it will pop the other end free. I do that sometimes to get fishing lures unstuck, except instead of pipe I use a heavy egg sinker.

[@MrBegg23]

been following you from almost day one haha good videos always sir thank you

[@ExploringAlabama]

Good idea on the magnet guard. I'm going to work on mine. If you get a sec check out the sword part I pulled out of a creek magnet fishing and give me your thoughts. You have found your share of them so you might know. Thanks

[@MatthewPfeil]

Magnet Fishing! Good idea on the bottle piece. I was even thinking when you brought it up that you used an old funnel. Somehow I was unsubscribed. So I re subscribed. Can't miss any Aquachigger adventures!

[@James-uc2nd]

+Matthew Pfeil™ youtube has a glitch....its happening 2 me...i might email them

[@MatthewPfeil]

James's Garbage Trucks And Other Vids good to know. Thanks.

[@bstan1886]

my first throw of mine. I accidently threw the whole rope. good thing it was a floating rope.

[@CodingToFreedom]

+Aquachigger My very first throw got the magnet attached to a metal canal wall.

[@aliasfred]

+TrashureSeeker Try fishing from an aluminum boat.

[@CodingToFreedom]

Larry Ciarrocchi That would help with canal walls, how in the world have I not thought about that?!

[@thexpat9165]

I think that angled iron was a wheel chock for a truck. Maybe a tree cutting crew or some sort of municipal truck by the paint color.

[@DigginDale]

at 9:36 that thing would make a good ladder rack for the garage lol

[@jhunt7513]

Great video and tips. I'm off to search the rivers here in Texas. Let me know if you ever get out to central Texas, would love to hunt together.

[@PHXNTXMDRK]

THank you for that beautyful video

[@Evancofficial]

love all your videos

[@grayfox4554]

Argh, don't ye know Davy Jones isn't going to be giving up his treasure without a fight?

[@Hobgoblin1975]

I had an idea, get some cable, a grapnel hook, some thing inexpensive like rebar. throw it in water, pull till it snags some wood. Hook to your vehicle, pull out. Then its safe to magnet fish.

[@MylesNicholas]

Do you have a 'keeper' to put on your magnet to keep it safe when not in use?

[@lakeshadow100]

If my magnet was round I'd try a funnel to keep it from getting stuck. Just an idea. Thanks for the video

[@MiltonTucker]

Mighty good idea with the bottle top on the magnet. I think I will plagiarizer your idea, but with a 3d printed cone.

[@pauliegee78]

Thank you that was a blast.Hey eh, how's mousey, hopefully doing? Take care of yourself brother

[@maxxxxxxy]

Wow, 288K subs, you've grown a lot since I first found your channel back when you had around 30K

[@matthewwilliams233]

I did at like 60 and that wasn't long ago at all

[@khorps4756]

+Maxybeast I think I kinda remember 20 or 50K

[@brockbarnes6057]

what you found goings under your back wheel to your car or boat trialier dont roll away lol heaps good relic

[@minecraftwithender]

"Im gonna use this V to battle that V." Ooooh kinky!

[@minecraftwithender]

"I think we have our first boner-fied catch of the day"

[@BJCRfilms]

Nice vid as always!

[@HamMax444]

Wow your hair grew a lot since your last video three days ago lolXD!

[@busboyanderson6139]

been here since 700 subscribers these videos are awesome

[@leburnham5864]

The " hook" like item you found is likely a crank handle for a scissors type car jack.

[@anthonywoo5195]

Talking about magnet fishing do you have trouble to clean up the tiny metal chips that stuck between the gap of the magnet? By my experience I usually use a piece of duck tape or chewing gum (after chewed) to stuck it out, it clean up so well let try this suggestion.

[@02freyjon]

I wonder if a funnel would work well in place of your powerade bottle top.

[@chrisby777]

Those Sherman tanks are fairly heavy Mr B!

[@chrisb561]

"Sherman tank " is my dogs name. Have you stolen my identity?

[@chrisby777]

+Chris Barrett is it better than mine?

[@hughmungus7756]

one was a wheel chuck like a block for your wheel the other rod thing was a jack wrench for a little jack, rubber coated..

[@lolzcraft7249]

Aquachigger the angle thing with a bit orange on it is a wheel chock owned by asplundh tree company

[@cambury9318]

"Throw the whole kitten caboodle in the water" :D

[@spazzmomma]

I've looked and watched and can't find what size(how many pounds it picks up) magnet to use. I have ordered some 75# ones from Amazon. Do you think those will work. By the way, we are going to use your little jerry rigged funnel idea. Thank you so much for the tips.We hook up an hdmi cable to my putor and watch you on the t.v. ....Hey, your on tv Aquachigger.

[@morganman1975]

What is the best type of magnet for fishing? Neodymium, Samarium Cobalt, Alnico, Ferrite?

[@stupidname80]

I used a funnel on my line, works really well.

[@badapple65]

looks like a wheel chock?

[@lilfluffynacho269]

That's what I was thinking

[@StephenAndrew777]

It almost looks like he's going jug fishing for catfish. lol.

[@robert.adamek]

Recommend a certain magnet for this? I know neodymium but what brand, site, shape, or a very specific link to buy one? Thanks

[@bobordewald1367]

how about a long oil funnel. the one I'm thinking about is nothing but reducing radius

[@NHbeachmetaldetecting]

great video!!

[@WhatTheHeckTV]

I'd try something with more of cone shape like a funnel

[@MagicMikeSkishing]

Very innovative nice video!

[@dragonkattz]

I was wondering what are the best things you've found by throwing a magnet into water from the shore like this. It seem like unless you go magnet fishing in the right canals you don't get anything that amazing.

[@wackattack180]

Ya!!! That's a awesome idea :D Thumbs Up :)))

[@frankiecowsert9364]

........and one more comment from me....I LIKE YOUR HAIR!

[@glegalee]

The plastic coated hook looks like the handle/winder for a vehicle scissor jack.

[@Jajo372]

like the way youre happy about every little piece of trash :D

[@rogertopful]

I am going to get a cheep electric wench and use that to pull my magnet in. If it gets stuck, I can hook it up to the wench and yank it out all in one go.

[@alan30189]

6:30 That would make a good roof for a bird feeder in the winter.

[@morganman1975]

That angle iron looks like a battery tray
