Just today I was walking over a bridge in the Irish town near where I'm staying, and a kid was on the banks below. He had somehow dropped his entire fishing pole in the water and was trying to retrieve it. It was lying on a bed of seaweed just off the shore. But the banks were covered in mud and mussel shells, and with every step in bare feet you could tell it was painful. As he got closer to the water he started to sink in the mud. I continued on my way so I don't know if he was able to complete his quest to rescue the fishing pole. But in a couple decades there may be another reel under there for someone to find.
Also, and I am 100% serious, just beyond the fishing pole was a whole entire bicycle sitting in the seaweed bed just under the water.
Wow! That's amazing, Angie. Thank you for sharing. I guess the kid needed an fishing pole to fish his fishing pole out. A good neodymium magnet would have done the trick for the pole (assuming it had a metal reel) and possibly for the bike too.
"Neodymium magnets (NdFeB or NIB) are the strongest commercially available permanent magnets, made from an alloy of neodymium, iron, and boron. They are prized for their immense magnetic strength relative to their size and are used widely in electronics, green energy, and everyday consumer applications." Wikipedia

If only neodymium was a real thing that really existed and not a word you just made up
