Magnet fishers in Amsterdam use strong magnets to drag whatever sticks out of the murky waters of the canals.

Any bodies yet?

Not very magnetic, them bodies.

lmao I mean amongst the other rubbish, but yea πŸ˜…

πŸ˜‰πŸ€£

depends, some of them might have been into heavy metal

Or Steely Dan πŸ˜‰

Good haul!

He left quite a trail of scrap heaps along the route I ran

Oh that's a bit meh, do they bring it to metal collection for money? πŸ€”

I think they don't, but they might come back to collect. Ijzerboeren are mostly looking for copper and aluminum, which isn't magnetic πŸ€·β€β™‚οΈ

I think magneetvissers are mostly just curiously looking for adventure and discovery.

A guy I know decided to do this on a business trip in Tokyo and got arrested πŸ˜‚

Not sure why he thought it would be a good idea to do this abroad.

That's nuts. Here in the Netherlands it can be extremely dangerous because of WW2 bombs. But I can't imagine why anyone would object to it in Japan

Some random tall white bloke throwing a weird device into a pond in the middle of Tokyo who can’t speak a lick of Japanese when approached by police who have no idea what he’s doing… I can see why he was arrested lol.

Yeah that makes sense πŸ˜
