a hunk of rope, a magnet and tossing 'er... that's about all there is to it, lol.

i'm currently using a 300lb magnet and have found a few things with it. and as with metal detecting, there's lots of different places to go... old wells, almost any body of water. the bestest places are around docks/piers. the more used the place is, the more likely there's lost or tossed items.

i'm discovering that fact with the ROV, i see MUCH more stuff in the water near docks than i do when i go even a mere 100 feet out from the wharf.
