I am laughing out loud at your combined shock at pulling up that anchor on your first magnet cast....!!! superb!
Hahaha, Simon is like a child laughing!!! Love it!!!!
You two should be on the telly, when he pulled that anchor in the tears were running down my legs😂😂
Absolutely loved this episode. You two are great fun to watch.
I so much enjoy laughing along with you guys! 👍🏼
Simon's giggles make me smile.
Your laughter is infectious.
Actually your waterway is pretty clean.
No shopping carts or bicycles.
Great fun video. Love the Castles. And the cute little cubby.
Score on the anchor and fender.
And the waterway is a little cleaner.
Cheers.
I would say it’s clean have you ever seen when they empty out canals in France, good lord all manner of things
Thanks for a most enjoyable and funny video. I lost it when Simon pulled the long rebar out, all I could think of was changing an old Tommy Cooper joke: ' A man floats into a bar'............OUCH!...............'it was an Iron bar'
Glad you enjoyed it
Nice to see you two having some fun together
When you got the anchor I thought Simon has got a shopping trolley 😂😮😂😂
I tell ya….Simon’s giggles are infectious 😂😂😂
You can’t help but smile when you hear Simon’s laugh! 😆
I was having a terrible day but I couldn't help but start laughing at this. Thank you very much!!
That looked like tons of fun! What an Awesome find, that home made boat anchor! Not to mention, cleaning up the ocean floor... A Great video! Thanks guys!
The magnet fishing comedy show 😂😂😂
oh Simon soon as you cast it out i thought the most likely thing you will get is either a anchor or a cannon another great vlog what a beautiful backdrop the castle makes
I like the bar idea. One thing to think about is room to walk through. Maybe a bar that folds down when your not using it would give that extra bit for the walkway
Lots of fun and it was certainly a beautiful place to give it a try.
I love to see you having fun.
It’s nice to have a day off from boat work every now and then!
The bit metal you call a dager looking at the wall where you found it it was ment to have a gate it could well be the hanger for it these would have been banged into ahole the filled with mortar it was definitely the right shape and thickness
What a stunning day. Good to see ya taking time out to do something different and a hoot to boot. Under Bridges and next to wharfs paths and topaths anywhere people have access. Keep having fun.Keep at it now.😮😅😊
awesome 1st find. Lots to be found in canals but this is the 1st time ive seen someone magnetfish a castle, would be cool to see bits of a shield or armour from the days of yore
Great fun magnet fishing, I did that years ago. Great idea what Simon said, sports magnet fishing.
I would say that Simon already won the best thing he ever could when he got Gemma, no matter what they find with the magnet.
Simon my friend - your luck changed the day you married that amazing woman… love you guys.
Good to see Simod wearing a 'kill cord'. Well done!
You two crack me up the history of your country is amazing to me
That looked like fun, thanks for sharing.
Simon, i think uou are a big winner you caught Gemma!!
19:00 - This is close to where an old car garage was a decade or so ago. I wouldn't be surprised if a lot of the scrap metal came from there.
I honestly thought Simon was pretending to pull something heavy on the first cast. That was SO funny!
Me too! We were so shocked at what came up on our first cast!!
there was something mad in the back of my head (yep that's another story haha) but i just said, bet he pulls up an anchor chain, i didn't know it was his first throw, just didn't come to mind, then i saw the anchor, what, that's mad - worst would have been, magnet contacts anchor, Simon pulls, and pulls himself into the water, it happens
Did your pontoon begin to float away after you pulled up the anchor? You've had us laughing as usual you pair 😅😊
Love Conway, on a nice day we like to drive down for brekky then head into the mountains for a wild swim. So lucky to live on The Wirral.
Trawlers use the grapnel to retrieve lost fishing gear.
Looks like a lot of fun.🍀
Looked very fun. Beautiful castle. Got to see part of it most dont
It is definitely a cool place to go exploring!
The anode thing was a rail joint connector called a fish plate.
The road tunnel that largely replaced the bridges was built on land and then floated out and sunk, so make sure you don’t pull that up!🤠🤠
That was fun to watch. cheers.
Can you get an underwater gold detector now that would be really exciting. You could then hang out around super yacht ports and pull up some nice jewelry.
I thought you may have gone drone fishing with ya magnet 😂
From my magnet fishing days on the river Cam when I used to recover bicycles and shopping trolleys by the dozen, I would say a grappling iron is essential. I worked from a heavy wooden punt, would tie off the line when taut and run to the other end of the punt. That pivoting of the boat would yank the find out of the silt and save a lot of effort :) Congrats on your first cast though, great find.
That lump at 22:50 is probably a railway fish plate (real name) used to bolt lengths of rail together. The expansion gaps they caused created the clickety-clack train noise.
Magnet fishing looks like a lot of fun. Be VERY careful though if you ever do it from your dinghy. I saw a video of a guy doing that and he flipped the dinghy over try to pull up his object.
He was NOT happy since everything he had in the dinghy was now on the bottom of the water.
Another guy using his dinghy had something on that he was pulling up and the item PUNCTURED the side chamber of his dinghy.. He was most definitely NOT HAPPY either.
I thought that when you pulled up that anchor, your dock was going to float down the river HaHa
Really enjoyed your video guys😊
Keep fishing - don't let your anchor weigh you down....There is a sword down there somewhere!! John
Thank you, I really enjoyed that! I live in Delaware and go with my daughter and granddaughters down to the Delaware River in Old New Castle where my daughter lives. Unfortunately there's so much crap in it, including needles, that it's just not safe to take the grandkids into it to adventure. The wildlife however is unbelievable. We've even had gators in some of our local ponds that had to be removed(people dump them when they get too big). Question: Do you all in the UK camp in pop-up campers? I have for years as they are lighter and the costs are cheaper when driving hundreds of miles to a destination. I watch a number of your UK channels but never see them on any UK channels. Just curious. Thank you, love your channel.
Pop up campers are a thing, but high-top fixed roof campers are more common.
I use to do this but with a drag hook. Best thing I ever pulled up was a Honda 650 enduro motorcycle. Still sporting the sticker you sent me for best joke. 😁Love from Canada
A word of warning fishing under the bridges at Conwy, the old fisherman used to dump old anchors and large metal bits they had trawled up. Also I suggest that you go to the areas that don't dry out for your magnet fishing....both pontoons you fished from you can walk around a spring low water. There are also large metal obstruction on the river; vehicles and wrecks. Good luck and keep laughing together.
hi, very good video, but you should try in the port, I think you will find a lot of things there. Keep it up and see you soon
I’d bet that anchor (grapple hook) was not the only thing in that area. Go back to the same spot and try again.
😂😂😂😂 That was hilarious
"Castle Walls" by Styx
Once in a dream
Far beyond these castle walls
Down by the bay where the
Moonlit water falls
I stood alone while the minstrel sang his song
So afraid I'd lost my soul
There in the fog his song kept calling me
Leading me on with its haunting melody
Deep in my heart a voice kept echoing
I knew I'd soon be wandering
Far beyond these castle walls
Where the distant harbour meets the sky
There the battle raged like hell
And every dove had lost its will to fly
Far beyond these castle walls
Where I thought I heard Tiresias say
Life is never what it seems
And every man must meet his destiny
That would have been a great background song to this segment. lol!
First time I did magnet fishing on the Liverpool Leeds canal , I latched onto something so big that I lost the bloody magnet.
Found out later it was a huge drain valve!!
I used to keep a fishing magnet on my sailboat. The best luck was at the marina where my my boat was kept.
Very entertaining. 🤣👍
Looks like boat loads of fun but it does come with a major health risk for some people, particularly those with a pacemaker as a powerful magnet can shut the pacemaker down and in the case of a CRT it can trigger a shock which from personal experience is not fun at all
I thought it was anchors away not pull it up with a magnet. Mind looked like a great day out.
Got you hook line and sinker try that round your moorings what you get in scrap pays a bit more to fuel crack on next
magnet fishing is good hey. i know of people that find motorbikes etc, one found a gun i recall.
Looks like a grappling hook to me 👍🏻
Watch Northants Magnet Fishing and Peaky Dippers to see what to do, Peaky always says "Check Your Crud" In other words chip the concretion away from the metal to see what is underneath. One piece you put in the bag lloked like it could have been Grapeshot or Canister but it would need to have the rust chipped off to see weather it was or not.
i watch these
Ahh the nervous giggles
Unusual way to have fun
At first i thought Simon had pulled up the Anchor for the Pontoon your'e on.????????.
The thing that looks like the end of a sword appears to be wrought iron. The way that it is delaminating in layers is typical of wrought iron, so that would put it at Victorian or older.
Did you guys manage to find your drone with the magnet, or is it not worth trying to locate it?
Simon Bond,stealth Castle busting
So fun
How magnetic is a drone? 🤔
Magnet fishing is a blast , you can throw it in the same direction and get 5 different things . Wait until you get your first sword or gun
It sure was fun!
That anode looks like a railway fishplate
Over here in the US these people find all kinds of stuff including motorcycles bicycles safes junk and of course weapons
Surely that's a grappling hook that someone used in days of old to storm the castle !
You'll have to go drone fishing!
oh man i was laughing at this!
Another anchor for Surinda!
Remember in the UK there's a law you have to submit every thing to be reviewed by an Archeologist
Fun day
I lost my anchor at the pontoon by the beach across from Deganwy, think you could pull it up for me haha?
At least you finally caught something fishing, albeit magnet fishing
Well, that was fun!
Thx for the vid.
Just be sure you are not under the garterobe....lol!!!
That's not really an anchor. It's called a "drag" which they drag around when they are trying to find something like a separated mooring anchor or a string of crab pots. Under water cables and such. Good find though, if you ever break your anchor line you got the gear to recover it.
14.30 = musketball.-- - - 20.08 looks like a big door-latch (off a prison cell!) - - - It would have been a 'shock' find if you'd caught one of the powerlines that feed Anglesey!
Can the magnet find lost drones?
cool vid thanks lee
Glad you enjoyed it
I dont think personally that what you caught is an Anchor, I think its a Fishermans Net Grabber, That the Boat fisherman used to Find a lost net, that they had to cut loose after getting it fouled on a wreak or reef.
Any metal that contains iron is known as ferrous so any ferrous metal is attracted to a magnet.
I'd be interested to know what attracted you to the magnet fishing? Was it the pull of curiosity?😄
First cast wonder.😂
Did'nt go looking for the drone then
Why didn't you go after your drone ??
That's mad I walked over that bridge on Sunday and was looking at that pontoon 👍 only just started the video hopefully you get your drone back 🤞
This was Saturday, so you’re abit safer from snags there now!!
@@ShipHappensAdventures Did you notice LOTS of motorcycles on Saturday. It was the Dragon Rally, and the checkpoint was behind the castle at Conway MCC
@@A65Rocket we did! Wondered what was going on!
The American woman tourist who asked "Why was the Castle built so close to the railway?"
I would love to go magnet fishing, but it's illegal where I live.
Next time I bet that simon will pull up a Spitfire engine!!!!
Bucket for what you pull up
Love to see,not meant to be,giggle giggles
Those "magnetic rocks" might be meteorites and therefore worth some money. If they are meteor wrongs, not so much.
A lot of money, be careful what you drag up. You can throw good stuff in da trash
Around large old buildings, bridges, etc, there is so much metal trash, and disintegrating metal trash, that lots of items have so much metal trash on them that they appear magnetic. This includes non-magnetic coins & such.
Never wrap a rope round your hand.
