At the heart of Magnet Fishing and for all those who enjoy it most is the adventure and the excitement of searching for the unknown and undiscovered. Which is why it comes as no surprise that one of the most popular searches related to Magnet fishing is where are the best places to Magnet Fish?. ARCHI will address this very question.
So where are the best places for Magnet Fishing?........
Well, a good place for Magnet Fishers to start is in towns and cities which have long histories. It is in these areas and the bodies of water which run through them where the most interesting finds have been left undisturbed, just waiting to be discovered. People make the history of these towns and cities and it is people who leave behind the treasures to be found years later.
We at ARCHI and many of our fellow Magnet Fishers would highly recommend the areas of water underneath canals and bridges. For centuries people have used them as major crossings on their travels; creating endless opportunities for valuables to have been left both intentionally and unintentionally in the water. Coupled with a long connection to our forgotten industrial age, we hope this will encourage you and your fellow Magnet Fishers to explore the industrial heritage of your area through the discoveries you make.
ARCHI already has hundreds of ancient bridges listed in the database, most recently we have added the GPS locations for 7000 canal and river bridges to help anyone who wishes to explore the undiscovered, rich history of Britain's waters.
With Magnet Fishing and the potential finds you may come across comes particular dangers, especially when dealing with discarded armoury. Which is why we strongly recommend for our fellow Magnet Fishers to be familiar with the law and protocols associated with their retrieval.
Old wells have long been places where people have gone in search of their wishes, leaving coins as offerings, which is why they are the perfect locations for Magnet Fishers in search of coins. The older the well, the greater the possibility of uncovering coins, which could be very valuable. As is the case with all areas you wish to magnet fish, it is important to first seek permission from those who own the land before you fish and once this contact has been made to come to an understanding before magnets are cast.
The majority of the UK's rivers and canals belong to The Canal and River Trust, it is incredibly important that you contact your local representative from the trust before Magnet Fishing in their waters, and also report any finds you may come across to officials.
