Nah it's when you tie a powerful magnet to a rope and throw it in and see what the magnet catches.
Mostly junk but sometimes old antiques can be found.
Precious metals are not magnetic so you won't be pulling up any treasure.

I seem to remember just that very type of fishing at some of the country fairs we used to bring our kids to.

🤔

it's like bobbing for apples
but using magnets instead of teeth
and iron instead of apples

Am I the only person attracted to the idea of magnet fishing?
