Well my first attempt at magnet fishing was... expensive.
I had a $30 magnet and a $15 magnet. The big one got stuck after 4 tosses into the water, so I tied the end of the other magnet rope to the end and tried to pull from the other side of the water... the rope was too short by a few feet, so I tied a sling to the end of the second rope and kept walking around the water... then a second sling.
The second sling came loose, and I lost two ropes, two magnets, and two slings! Like an idiot, I didn’t untie the second magnet. Very annoying.
I came back an hour later and used a makeshift grappling hook to recover everything except the one magnet that was originally stuck. Had to just cut the rope, but at least I got the slings and second magnet back. It was an adventure, but not quite the treasure hunt I was hoping for.
