I knew about the catfish but didn’t think there were little magnet fishes in that there Detroit River.

Sometimes it makes you really mad to find out the garbage people throw into our river.....

It was a busy year. These are just the ones that we have shown on YouTube.

You won't believe the Shotgun we found Magnet Fishing in Detroit!

We had an interesting day on the Detroit River that resulted in a trip to the police station.

Nice. I like the knives too.

You will believe what I caught magnet fishing in the Detroit River.

We will be holding another cleanup event this year in Ecorse at the John Dingell park. We welcome all magnet fishers as well as anyone interested in learning about magnet fishing. we are currently raising money through https://gofund.me/17c631ce to be able to provide magnet fishing kits to the children that attend the event. last year we raised enough to provide 25 magnet fishing kits to the children that attended the event. We cleaned a lot of junk out of the river that day. Please if you have any questions message me through here or check us out on facebook. we are the Motor City Magnet Fishers.

Hey Jason.

At 2:20 in this video they show an interesting contraption for cleaning a magnet easily. You might even be able to make one yourself from PVC tubing or aluminum.

That is interesting. too bad it will take away from the pull force of the magnet. it did however give me an idea that i may try to build. thank you for that.

Yeah, a sheet of aluminum might work for the face but its thickness would have to balance between minimum magnetic attenuation and ruggedness.

I also noticed their design drags material up the sides of the cylinder as the magnet is retracted. You might wrap a sleeve around the cylinder that scrapes that material back down while the magnet is retracted. I can picture a pair of springs, one to the the magnet the other to the sleeve, that might work. Or maybe some kind of scissor jack linkage with one spring.

You're most welcome. It's the least I can do for your efforts.

Pulling Up More GUNS Out of the Detroit River While Magnet Fishing

In this video it's another solo trip magnet fishing the Detroit River and I pulled out 2 more guns. You don't want to miss either of them and my visit to the police station at the end!

There are a couple of bald eagles too.

**Ray1936** · February-28-22, 03:52 PM

Great video, as always.

As a retired Detroit Police officer, I can't believe the arrogance displayed by those in the clip. Sigh. But then, I retired 40 years back.

**MotorCityMagnetFishers** · March-01-22, 09:51 AM

It has been my experience that in Detroit there are certain officers that feel everything is an inconvenience to them. Every precinct has amazing officers but at the same time every precinct has the guys just hanging on till retirement that don't really want to do what they are being paid to do....come to think of it I think this applies to every profession out there.
