It's not for everyone, doing the bend and reach can aggravate old injuries and unused muscles but if you can humble yourself and get over how you look its pretty fun. So here are today's motivational MD tutorial videos.

Fed up of having our fishing geared tangled up in whatever crap people throw in the water we decided to buy some neodynium magnets which can hold up to 200 kg - attach them to a rope and just throw it in the water where we normally would go fishing.
Over the past year we have caught some amazing finds such as locked iron safes (nothing inside though), a plastic bag filled with jewelry, lots of ammunition (mostly bullets which were not fired yet). We also found 3 old bombs, probably from WW2 (we checked archives and apparently there was a bombing raid over the area were we always go fishing) but we decided to just put them back in the water - we did not want to get the army demining squad and police to come and ask us questions and waste our time. Old unexploded bombs are something that occur regularly in Belgium, especially in West-Flanders around Ieper (Ypres - those ar mainly from WW1) where farmers unearth them when they farm their lands - they place them at the side of the fields and every week or so the army comes by to explode them in a controlled fashion - crazy how these things are still buried, unexploded, all over the place here.
Other finds: boat keels, anchors, refrigerators, bicycles (over 100 by now), motorcycles (mostly stripped down with only the frame remaining), hammers and other tools like wrenches, old railway tracks... Oh and lots of nails
We bring all of the old metal to this guy who buys up old iron - so far the counter is at around ~11 000 kg in just 3 years. The cool things like anchors or other fancy stuff we either keep or put them up on online marketplaces.
Great hobby and a good way to keep us busy when we don't catch any regular fish - and at the same time we keep the canal/port and rivers clean
KABOOM!
