‘You get a giant magnet, attach it to a rope, throw it in the canal and see what sticks basically.' 🧲 A magnet fisherman who pulled a grenade from the Birmingham Canal has rated it as among his strangest ever finds around the world.
Bondi Treasure Hunter Leigh Webber is all smiles after fishing a grenade out of a river in the West Midlands Canal has rated it as among his strangest ever finds around the world.
The YouTuber lived up to his billing at last year’s event in Walsall, on a stretch known as the Birmingham Canal Navigations, when reeled in a ‘flash-bang’ grenade out of the river at the meet in aid of Cancer Research UK. ‘Someone said they were military or police issue, it was a pretty solid piece of equipment. You could see where loads of pellets had come out from the side. I took it to the guys who organised the event and they handed it over to the authorities.’
‘I’ve found safes, guns, swords, sunglasses, a World War Two bomb in Brussels, iPhones, shopping trolleys, you name it,’ he said.‘There’s been some strange things over the years, the grenade and a jar of voodoo charms are up there, but it’s a long list. The good thing about magnet fishing is you never go home without a catch, ever. It’s also cleaning up the environment, which is really good too.
