I like the idea of magnet fishing, but it seems like you just pick up metal trash.

But occasionally you find $100000.

So at best, you find something rare and valuable, and at worst, you're removing trash from the waterways. What's not to love?

Once I went magnet fishing in a grate near my school's cafeteria, managed to get a lot of coins which felt like being rich as a kid

Y'all have magnetic coins?

Yep, my bluetooth earbuds charging case gets some coins stuck on it every time I place change in my pocket
