So Mick contacted me through my contact form telling about how his granddaughter fishing. It is always nice to hear about the joys magnet fishing can bring, so if you want me to post your story, feel free to contact me :-)
Mick's story goes (For his youtube video, scroll down):
Hi got a super strong magnet and took my granddaughter fishing in the local canal.
She had a great day and a prize every time including.
didn't realise it was so popular until I uploaded it to youtube
Cheers Mick
Mick sent me an update on the story as well:
Another look on old maps shows a glass bottle works on the other side of the canal so grates could be from there furnace as they are similar to steam boiler bars of the time
Cheers Mick
