When I was still boating I was always in a hurry to get away from
obvious magnet fishers. Always amusing if they got their magnet stuck on
a steel hull.
As magnets become more powerful, magnet fishing becomes more and more
worrying. If the magnet tugged on the ring pull of a discarded grenade
there could be a very nasty incident. A stuck mechanical bomb detonator
could be unstuck by the concussion of a powerful magnet.
How about pulling the drain plug? Probably not likely as the plug is
quite big and a winch would probably be required to overcome the water
pressure.
