New to this channel snd beind the curve by 2 yrs! But... the fact that you clean up and don't act like idiots sets you worlds apart from others!

[@The_Last_Post]

Have you ever thought of getting a small boat/dinghy to explore the canals with. Could drag a magnet behind you dredging style

[@drasticg]

Dingys are no good as the magnet pulls you along where we need to pull the magnet in instead

[@Jelly_Tots]

Council should pay you for clearing all the rivers and canals.. great work guys

are those metal hinges with wood not off a reclining sofa? they push the foot rest up?

[@drskull9]

Or a lazyboy reclining chair

[@drasticg]

Alot of people think they are

[@peteri8924]

Was just about to post this too as they look like something out of my old recliner chair. After just seeing the live stream and the chair pulled out it seems canals are the latest furniture dumping ground.

[@DJDAVEDREAM]

Camper folding bed was my thinking

[@maxnoerenberg6370]

or maybe from a bed which you can open by lifting it and store anything under it.......I had such a bed and the spring system was so tight that it nearly cut my arms off

[@emilymcculloch8719]

Great to see you disposing of all the plastics / rubbish you find in your plastic bag, as well as the magnetic finds.

[@longhotsummer7307]

Hello, mate. I did what you say and bought a 200kg single-sided magnet off ebay. I bought some nylon rope and watched a Ray Mears video where he shows how to tie knots. I've been out 3 times, now in a local stream (no canals down here in Cornwall). I've found some odd things; tools, a spear from a statue, a mangle and more. Anyway, each time I go out I get accosted by middle-aged men (I'm male). Twice the same guy and one time a different one. They start out pretending to be interested in what I'm doing but soon ask me back "for a coffee". One said he'd like to take me out dancing. I ask them to go away but they just move off a bit and watch me. What do I do?

[@jakeagusta]

Long Hot Summer I’d recommend not wearing a leather thong when magnet fishing 😂

[@drasticg]

I hope your an adult if not dont go again pn your own as there are wierd people about, they could be harmless but not worth the risk

[@longhotsummer7307]

@@drasticgThanks for replying. Yes, I am a mature adult male. In light of this, I'd still be most grateful for your take on how to deal with these approaches as there aren't many other places to go magnet fishing around here. Cheers.

[@drasticg]

@@longhotsummer7307 i wouldnt fish alone thats my advice

[@Mathertron]

I'm in Cornwall too an have been following this channel for a while, I wanted to try magnet fishing myself but wasn't sure where to go with the lack of canals down here. Glad to hear you've made some finds - that has inspired me to buy a magnet and have a go. Ill definitely been on the lookout for strange old men when I do!!

[@Dougie1872]

Love how you could see the perch basking in the water one of the clearest canals ive ever seen ya do

Thanks mate

[@Blalack77]

I love finding old broken junk and fixing it and making it useful again. I haven't done a lot of magnet fishing but I've done a lot of dumpster diving. And when I look around my house, it's pretty surprising how much stuff came from a dumpster. My wife hates dumpster stuff and thinks it's gross though.

[@drasticg]

Good on you mate i love finding old stuff and reburbishing and upcycling to

[@CAMacKenzie]

In those weighted bags I was kind of expecting a piece of a skeleton.

[@treywall3683]

I was going to say "what do you do with all that mess you've created on the canal side"? But I see you take it all away----well done to you both for taking responsibility for it all even though its someone elses fault its all there in the first place, setting a good standard. A guy used his magnet on the Avon near where I live and left all the mess on the footpath.

[@Fur_Queue]

Just an idea, maybe recreate your 'drasticg' logo out of items you recover and restore??? Pulling that g clamp out gave me the idea

[@drasticg]

Good idea that mate thanks

[@Fur_Queue]

@@drasticg done on the correct scale it would make an awesome piece of scenery in your workshop thus furthering your already brilliant brand

[@drasticg]

@@Fur_Queue top idea pal thanks

[@Thematt11]

Great video as always. For the handbag, and items like it, have you ever considered adding a box sieve to your toolkit? They're as easy as 4 bits of wood and a bit of 2mm wire mesh. You can pour the slop from the bags out into one and wash it through with canal water. That way if there are any little things in the slurry you don't risk losing them.

[@drasticg]

I like the sound of that, thankyou for the top idea

[@lukejohn1277]

I did magnet fishing today at Wyrley and essington canal at Bentley Bridge retail Park but found nothing apart from 4 trolleys, scaffolding pole plus few small things like a small metal tube but wasn't very good finds but still cleaning out the canal though

[@sistermay1875]

It's so good to see you out magnet fishing again! It's interesting to see just what you'll pull out next! My shoulder is getting lots better! My therapist said this morning that I am doing amazing on the movement of my arm and shoulder!

[@drasticg]

Glad to hear your shoulder is on the men and my physio has said i need to concentrate on getting my leg straight so plenty of exercise should sort it hopefully

[@sistermay1875]

Yes, I may seem like a long time before your knee is good, but, it will happen! When I told my therapists that I did all the exercises on my last 3 knee surgeries, they were amazed! I have had 5 total surgeries on my left knee. Two were replacements. The first didn't work. It wasn't my actual knee, it was the component. It was defected. The original surgery was more of a bungling mess, so, I went to another doctor and he fixed it. I didn't have any trouble with it until I broke it at work. That was from 1985 to 2004! But, as I say about myself, I'm like a rubber ball, I bounce back! Just keep exercising, walking, and, before you know it, you'll be good as new! Today is July 4th. Harry (my husband) and I are going over to my sister's and brother- in- law to have a cook out and spend time together!

[@bjdelaney3131]

It looks like a school bag that some bully has chucked in a few bricks in order to add an extra degree of misery to his poor victim, i can just visualise the crushing look of woe as the sad kid rushes to the edge of the bridge where he or she is left with the image of just a few surface bubbles, confirming the fate of the doomed school bag

[@MidGrainKnight]

I had the same thought about the bikes and scooters, I understand kids possibly falling over and it falling in if they were riding along the edge, But with everything considered there's bound to be some brat causing misery for other poor kids

👍to boys for being responsible for your catches.

The scooter at 8:46 & the bike at 10:45 & the road lamp would make you some good restoration projects. Those metal rings could be parts of large bearings. That long cable, you've might have disconnected half of Burnleys broadband feed! 😁

Love your videos we should do this in schools as a geography activity cleaning up canals and stuff instead of learning about shitty coasts and deserts. This way will teach pupils to respect canals and what you cant do like throw litter.

I was thinking about the bag that was weighed down. Could it be someone disposing of some evidence from a crime? Maybe a robbery or assault where the perpetrators needed to ditch the bag? Maybe it is a valuable bag or distinguishable somehow? Maybe there was something of value in it once but the bag was too obvious to keep so someone weighed it down and there is goes til a magnet fisherman comes by! Great video.
