    Actually your waterway is pretty clean.

    Great fun video. Love the Castles. And the cute little cubby.
    Score on the anchor and fender.
    And the waterway is a little cleaner.

    That lump at 22:50 is probably a railway fish plate (real name) used to bolt lengths of rail together. The expansion gaps they caused created the clickety-clack train noise.

    From my magnet fishing days on the river Cam when I used to recover bicycles and shopping trolleys by the dozen, I would say a grappling iron is essential. I worked from a heavy wooden punt, would tie off the line when taut and run to the other end of the punt. That pivoting of the boat would yank the find out of the silt and save a lot of effort :) Congrats on your first cast though, great find.

  • @MrRnipperBrockleBroadcasting

    The road tunnel that largely replaced the bridges was built on land and then floated out and sunk, so make sure you don’t pull that up!🤠🤠

      there was something mad in the back of my head (yep that's another story haha) but i just said, bet he pulls up an anchor chain, i didn't know it was his first throw, just didn't come to mind, then i saw the anchor, what, that's mad - worst would have been, magnet contacts anchor, Simon pulls, and pulls himself into the water, it happens

    "Castle Walls" by Styx
    Once in a dream
    Far beyond these castle walls
    Down by the bay where the
    Moonlit water falls
    I stood alone while the minstrel sang his song
    So afraid I'd lost my soul
    There in the fog his song kept calling me
    Leading me on with its haunting melody
    Deep in my heart a voice kept echoing
    I knew I'd soon be wandering
    Far beyond these castle walls
    Where the distant harbour meets the sky
    There the battle raged like hell
    And every dove had lost its will to fly
    Far beyond these castle walls
    Where I thought I heard Tiresias say
    Life is never what it seems
    And every man must meet his destiny
    That would have been a great background song to this segment. lol!

    A word of warning fishing under the bridges at Conwy, the old fisherman used to dump old anchors and large metal bits they had trawled up. Also I suggest that you go to the areas that don't dry out for your magnet fishing....both pontoons you fished from you can walk around a spring low water. There are also large metal obstruction on the river; vehicles and wrecks. Good luck and keep laughing together.

    Magnet fishing looks like a lot of fun. Be VERY careful though if you ever do it from your dinghy. I saw a video of a guy doing that and he flipped the dinghy over try to pull up his object.
    He was NOT happy since everything he had in the dinghy was now on the bottom of the water.
    Another guy using his dinghy had something on that he was pulling up and the item PUNCTURED the side chamber of his dinghy.. He was most definitely NOT HAPPY either.

    Thank you, I really enjoyed that! I live in Delaware and go with my daughter and granddaughters down to the Delaware River in Old New Castle where my daughter lives. Unfortunately there's so much crap in it, including needles, that it's just not safe to take the grandkids into it to adventure. The wildlife however is unbelievable. We've even had gators in some of our local ponds that had to be removed(people dump them when they get too big). Question: Do you all in the UK camp in pop-up campers? I have for years as they are lighter and the costs are cheaper when driving hundreds of miles to a destination. I watch a number of your UK channels but never see them on any UK channels. Just curious. Thank you, love your channel.

    Watch Northants Magnet Fishing and Peaky Dippers to see what to do, Peaky always says "Check Your Crud" In other words chip the concretion away from the metal to see what is underneath. One piece you put in the bag lloked like it could have been Grapeshot or Canister but it would need to have the rust chipped off to see weather it was or not.

    Looks like boat loads of fun but it does come with a major health risk for some people, particularly those with a pacemaker as a powerful magnet can shut the pacemaker down and in the case of a CRT it can trigger a shock which from personal experience is not fun at all

    The thing that looks like the end of a sword appears to be wrought iron. The way that it is delaminating in layers is typical of wrought iron, so that would put it at Victorian or older.

    That's not really an anchor. It's called a "drag" which they drag around when they are trying to find something like a separated mooring anchor or a string of crab pots. Under water cables and such. Good find though, if you ever break your anchor line you got the gear to recover it.
