00:00Here are three of the craziest things ever pulled out while magnet fishing.
00:04And the last discovery was worth nearly half a million dollars.
00:07First, in 2024, a magnet fisher named Logan Pierce was searching beneath an old bridge in Tennessee
00:13when his rope suddenly tightened so hard it almost slipped from his hands.
00:17Thinking it was a safe or a large engine, he slowly pulled it toward the surface.
00:22Instead, an entire Harley-Davidson motorcycle emerged from the muddy water.
00:27After cleaning the frame, authorities checked the serial number and confirmed it had been reported stolen years earlier.
00:33Police immediately seized the motorcycle.
00:35A few months later, it was sold at auction for more than $15,000, while Logan received nothing except a
00:42police report.
00:43Second, in 2022, friends Noah Carter and Ethan Brooks were magnet fishing beneath an abandoned railroad bridge in Missouri
00:50when their magnet locked onto something far too heavy to move.
00:53Curious, they returned the next day with diving equipment.
00:57Resting on the riverbed was a submerged luxury SUV.
01:00After it was pulled from the water, investigators discovered expensive watches, encrypted hard drives,
01:06several gold bars, and sealed documents inside.
01:09The vehicle was linked to a financial fraud investigation that had been unsolved for years.
01:14Everything was taken as evidence, and the two friends left empty-handed despite making the discovery.
01:19And the last one?
01:20In 2021, a magnet fisher named Ryan Mitchell was exploring an old canal in Michigan when his magnet attached to
01:27a large, rusted steel container buried beneath thick mud.
01:31It took almost three hours to pull it onto the riverbank.
01:34Inside were thousands of rare silver coins and antique gold jewelry, later valued at more than $450,000.
01:43News of the discovery spread across the country.
01:46Within days, several people claimed ownership, and the case ended up in court.
01:50After months of legal arguments, the judge ruled there was no evidence proving anyone else's claim.
01:55Ryan walked out of the courtroom with one of the greatest magnet fishing discoveries ever recorded.
02:00We'll see you next time.
