In 2019, when Covid-19 started a year later a youtuber named Outdoors Weekly started magnet fishing. Lots of people started doing it,too. In some rivers some people found welding rods, cans, metal scraps, and war equipment. One thing I forgot is all kinds of cars, boats, and airplanes! That's cool! In Mr. Demchak words and I quote “ Some things I found are treasure like the saying goes one man's trash is another man's treasure. You can find all kinds of things like war equipment (not much). Also old cans and old Coke or Pepsi bottles with caps on. Don’t drink it.” In 2020, people removed over 20,000 pounds of metal. Some people really liked it and still do it. Sometimes do you think what's in your lake,river,or ocean in your backyard? Youtubers Fun
Some youtubers like The Fisher, Outdoors weekly, The squad,and Magnet interesting to watch if you want to try. These youtubers show how to clean up earth,but in a fun way. So if you want to try to do it follow the youtubers. What places to go and What to buy
Good places to go would be the Mississippi River or any waterways by you as long as you ask the park ranger. What to get? You need to get a strong magnet,long locking rope,gloves (nice strong ones),and a bucket. If you want to get really into it then get into it then get a trailer. Some things you can find you can actually sell. Like one thing a man found that sold for over a billion dollars. It was gold,silver with a ruby in the middle from a tribe. The tribe is still unknown,even how many times scientist researched.How magnet fishing makes Earth a better place
A question asked by scientists “How does this help Earth?” asked Dr. Joe High. It makes Earth a better place from getting rid of all metal that does not need to be in the rivers,oceans,and lakes. Metal can release chemicals that kill fish or other creatures. In 2022, people removed over 100 billion pounds of metal from the bodies of water. So if you want to join, first do research then start! Have fun trying magnet fishing!
