Using the 3600 pound Beast Magnets

Those anchor weights are concrete formed to put 4 x 4 post in for fencing or forms

@@alabamascrapper3965 Ya it is I guess that is what they were using to keep the dock stable. My first video no one was loud on that dock, it was starting to float away. Now it’s fixed so I think the weight came off it and they never tried to get it. That dock was left in all winter so when the ice melted is probably the problem they had with it coming unhooked.

I’m new to this magnet fishing thing and am just using a harbor freight special for the moment. Can you explain to me how a single magnet can pull a 3600lb item out of the water. Scrap yards use giant crane mounted electro magnets to lift that weight off the dry ground.

@@NJFatguy they rate it at 3600 pounds divide that by two so it’s 1800 on each side. Take 1” solid steel and stick it on their you will have a work out to get it off but you take a set of keys and it’s a little easier. If you put your fingers in between that magnet and steel it will do damage. I don’t recommend someone with no experience to use that size of a magnet a 1200 pound double sided or 2000 pound is a good starter magnet. But still you have to be careful.

It was a weight that supported a floating dock
