As you probably know, Youtube is much for than a platform for videos, people get paid quite a bit for having a channel with quality content.

Selling your scrap metal for extra cash.

Metal worths money.

Assuming some of your magnet fishing finds are not in the best condition, you should keep them in a safe place until you have a nice pile of scrap metal in your garage. Once you have a good amount of metal, seek a local scrap yard and sell your magnet fishing finds for cash. You can make about 50 cents per Kilogram. This is not much, but if you keep saving your metal and sell it, you will realise that this is a very good way to make some money from a hobby, so don’t throw away your findings! You are also cleaning up the water and making money while having some quality time. Not a bad deal at all.

Selling Valuable Magnet Fishing Finds

Often, you may end up finding an object that does have some value and can be sold as is, either online (eBay, Amazon, second hand websites etc), and either to antique stores and coin collectors. Even finings that do not look as something that can be sold, will be sold for the right price! There are so many things you can find during your magnet fishing hunt for metal- coins, safes, knives, watches and bikes, try offering them on eBay and see the magic happen!

Offering Metal Detecting and Salvaging Service

Another nice way is offering your service for salvaging metal objects that fell into the water. if someone lost their bikes, keys or smartphone, he’ll be happy to find someone to pull them out using fishing magnets for a small fee!

Remember, things you may find while going magnet fishing may look worthless to you, but may be worth a lot for someone else, especially if you take a few minutes and clean up your finds by using our technics, presented in a previous blog post.

That's all for today,

Happy magnet fishing!
