Three women were sitting by a river using poles with magnets, not hooks. When a game warden asked for fishing licenses, they explained they were simply cleaning metal debris from the riverbed. After seeing the magnets and their rusty finds, he allowed them to continue.
Once he left, the women laughed as they revealed they had also pulled up valuable items like fishing lures, tackle boxes, and a wallet with cash—turning their “cleanup” into an unexpected treasure hunt. Magnet fishing is a real hobby where people use powerful magnets to recover metal objects from waterways.
