Pruyne Time Magnet Fishing

Welcome to Pruyne Time Magnet Fishing – where adventure, treasure hunting, and environmental conservation meet!

Based in the beautiful Finger Lakes region of Western New York, I travel across the U.S., combining my love for magnet fishing and exploration. I’ve fished in six states—New York, Pennsylvania, New Jersey, Maryland, North Carolina, and Florida—uncovering hidden treasures, metal artifacts, and mysterious objects beneath the water’s surface.

Magnet fishing gives me a workout while also helping clean up our waterways. From rusted tools to lost relics, every find has a story. Whether I’m kayaking along a riverbank or casting from shore, each video takes you on an exciting treasure hunt!

Subscribe to follow my eco-friendly adventures, as we explore lakes, rivers, and creeks, one magnet at a time. Let's see what we can discover next!

Life is a lot like magnet fishing. You spend most of your time dragging up junk you don’t want—rusted nails, bolts, and bike parts. And you think: Why am I even doing this? That’s Tuesday. That’s a bad meeting. That’s the phone call from your insurance company where they say, “Actually, that’s not covered.” But every once in a while—every rare once in a while—you pull up something incredible. Maybe not valuable in a monetary sense, but meaningful because you found it. A lockbox. A wheel. A piece of history. That’s friendship, or love, or just a really good sandwich when you need it.

And here’s the thing: you don’t control what you pull up. You just keep casting, hoping today isn’t another pile of rust. It’s both frustrating and beautiful—because even the junk reminds you, you’re out there, trying. You’re participating. You’re in the water. And that’s all life is asking of us: keep throwing the line, keep showing up, even if you end up with more rust than treasure. Because eventually, you’ll drag something up that makes the whole ridiculous, messy effort worthwhile.
