When many people think of magnets and hobbies, one of the first things that they consider would be a metal detector. While these are fascinating, magnet fishing is a new hobby that has the potential for a lot of income, depending on what you bring up.
So how it works, is that you tie a heavy duty magnet to a strong rope, and toss it into a river, pond, or stream. If there is anything magnetic in there, the magnets will latch onto it, and will not let go. As a result, you can bring up a lot of things that other people may have lost in the water. For instance, old coins, shopping carts, and a lot more.
