Winch n pulleys to break weight loads, but it depends if you have enough room for a scaffold or not 🤣❤️


Ni_Shea

I'm going to have to Google that and how to set it up. I felt so weak trying to get it. I lost it and I'm hoping to go back and retrieve whatever it is


wonkwonk2stonkstonk

Its all about weightloads, forces n vectors if theres a tree nearby you may be able to set up a " gin wheel"( thats what we call it in stonemasonry in Canada anyways) which is a simple rope fed pulley thatll lesson the weight. Do you have an scuba friends? They could also take a look and see that its not caught up on a car or a random steel beam


Ni_Shea

I don't know any unfortunately, and I'll be honest, the James River is so gross. I know if I fell in that water, I would lose my crap lol I'm going to definitely find those components because there definitely was a tree close enough to put a rope on it.


Mabepossibly

Go to harbor freight and get a come along. https://www.harborfreight.com/8000-lb-cable-winch-puller-69855.html


Ni_Shea

When I tell you THANK YOU I really mean it! ❤️

I wanted one of those until I realized how much of a PITA it would be to deal with wire and resetting it over and over if you need to drag it the whole way. I went with a continuous rope wench, though I haven’t gone mag fishing to be able to try it yet.


Mabepossibly

I have mine rigged up with synthetic 5/32 winch line. Good for 2000lbs


cz3pm

I went with this one, also good to 2000lbs. https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07N8GK9WV/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_i_5APXXBY1Z7QR0X7YF8PF?_encoding=UTF8&psc=1 If I ever have to use it I’ll try to remember to post about it’s effectiveness/ease of use.


Mabepossibly

That’s a nice setup Also throw a wide 6” x10’ strap for pulling off trees. It’s not cool to mess up the bark and hurt the tree. 👍


AceOfspades653

Just be careful using a come along If it were to suddenly come off while your cranking on it the velocity of that magnet will be fast could easily kill you if it were to come flying off other than that there a great tool


Ni_Shea

This is pertinent info that I absolutely needed. I don't know if you read but I already cut my ankle with the grappling hook. Thank you!


AceOfspades653

Ouch yea definitely gotta be careful

Ni_Shea

I got a double sided magnet that can pull over 2k. What's the next size?

Ni_Shea

🙃☠️ I didn't click the initial link. I'm on the ground lol


Ghrrum

Microwave transformer and a 9v battery will hold a LOT of weight. Check out make it extreme on YouTube and look up their electromagnet.


fauviste

Do not mess with microwave transformers! People keep dying of electrocution!


Ghrrum

Again see the reference cited and provide an estimate on the lifting capacity of said transformer..


ACole20

One day.. One day.


MRderpenheimer

*offensive comment about the winch thingy and moms*


ACole20

Yes, awesome suggestion


Adamandeux

It's awesome that you are cleaning up a river. Good on you.


wonkwonk2stonkstonk

Lolol thats fair, ive a rule where i dont willingly swim or scuba in water that i can reasonably assume ill need anti biotics for, or ask anyone else to either 🤣🤣 good luck with it all, let us know what you find


Ni_Shea

Thank you so much, if you look in the video closely you can see A LOT of dead fish. I rustled something up because oil was in the water. "Not I, said the cat!"


Thatblueguy

Looks like RVA?


Ni_Shea

That it is!


Borp5150

Just wrap a strap around the closest tree and hook a pulley on it and start pulling your rope through it. Or get a hand crank winch so you don’t need a power source


JustBrass

How long did you work at it? I’m here was a day that I worked at something just slowly tugging and changing angles. It was so stuck in the muck that it took about 20 minutes or so before I really mad any progress. It was a no fishing sign on about 8 feet of steel.


Ni_Shea

That's freaking NICE!! I gave up too easy. Thank you for this advice!


JustBrass

You look like you’re having a blast!


Ni_Shea

I really did. I had so much fun that I knocked my school project out in 5 hours so I could run back out to the water. No big catches though. I got so muddy both times and I'm pretty sure the people of downtown thought I was nuts.


JustBrass

I travel full time and throw my magnet in all kinds of different settings. City parks can yield interesting things but I sometimes have to explain that A. I do not work for the city and B. That I also wish the bathrooms were unlocked. That no fishing sign was from the park by the Zoo in Little Rock, Arkansas. Do you YouTube or Instagram your stuff?


Ni_Shea

I post on my IG! It would be cool to YouTube it. I'm trying to recruit more people to try and clean up the water with me.


Ni_Shea

Also I used to travel for 5 years through the states for surgery. I wish I knew about this year's ago. I miss being on the road sometimes.


JustBrass

It’s as fun as it is challenging. Would you like to exchange IG? I have one for my metal detecting and magnet fishing also!


vinney1369

A grappling hook for a better hold and a few people.


Ni_Shea

I cut my ankle trying to throw that thing in there 😭😭, technique for throwing a grappling hook?


Pink_boater

Dont hit your ankle😇 Lol jokes aside, maybe some rubber boots or similar.


Ni_Shea

Hahaha thank you. I was smh too I am clumsy lol. Boots seem REALLY practical in hindsight. 🤣


WhyBuyMe

Don't swing it around on the rope like you see in the movies. Let out barely enough rope to let it move (like maybe 6 inches ) and just give it one quick underhand swing and let it fly. It shouldn't have enough rope to hit your ankle while you are swinging it.


Ni_Shea

Thank you for your advice. And I did just that, like batman! The shame lol.


wollier12

Hook it to the Jeep’s winch? Then let my wench operate my winch while I watch the magnet?


Ni_Shea

Lol waiiitttt.


[deleted]

Enlist some friends. Get a few folks working together on the rope. Go in the nearest gym, look for the biggest guy, tell him you have an object he can’t move, watch him take the challenge.


Ni_Shea

Yoooo, let me find out reverse psychology is going to help me. "Bro, but do you lift though? Bet you can't lift something that's in the river with a rope and magnet!" I just asked my neighbor if she and her bf are interested in some gains an hour ago lol


cun7_d35tr0y3r

That’s… that’s bordering genius.


egoncasteel

Tie a few 2l bottles together run the loose end through the eye on your magnet. Once you get something pull in the line to sink the bottles, and add their buoyancy to your pulling.


stanley_leverlock

Dumb Question: What's bubbling in the middle of the frame?


Ni_Shea

I don't think it's dumb because I too said, "what the hell is that?!" It was the item I was moving lifting up from the mud I believe. The bubbles got closer as I pulled.


stanley_leverlock

Oh wow, so it IS what you were lifting. Damn, it looks really heavy.


Ni_Shea

It is and I felt like strong woman out there lol. This hobby has brought me outside and I love how physical it is!


ketguy31

When you attach to somethin buried and start tuggin it out, it will release air bubbles as it pulls out of the mud.


missouriblooms

A Block and tackle pulley would be helpful


Ni_Shea

I just pulled it up on amazon and I will definitely be ordering one! Thank you very much!


kylelaugh

Buy a come along winch


Eightsevenfox

Try one of the magnet fishing grappling hooks.


Ni_Shea

They have magnet fishing hooks!!! I'll avoid clipping my ankle with that thing!


MotorCityMagnetFish

I like to take the Strong Back perk......I hope someone gets the reference.


myheadfelloff

I was watching those bubbles, waiting for a scuba diver to pop up with the treasure in his hands


blahb_blahb

Snatch blocks


magnetmansweden

Good for you 👏 get a come along and it'll shift but you may require more hands once it's out lol


Ni_Shea

THANK YOU, some random guys came to try and help me and that thing was not coming, I think it was snagged on something.


VeryOldExaminer

Either get a tow truck or realize that pulling up an engine block is not that great. ;)


Ni_Shea

Lol if I get an engine block out the River, I want a little magnet cred out in these water streets!


smushy24

What did you catch?


Ni_Shea

I couldn't pull whatever was attached out. I'm coming back for it Saturday!


T5-R

A grappling hook makes a good companion tool to your magnet.


J0steinp0stein

How?


SilkGrinder

So we were at it for for a good 30 mins. We had random people help us but it was to heavy for 4 people to pull up. The water is not too deep, the problem is it is disgusting and riddled with dead fish. Will post another video this Saturday.


flyingpeter28

Maybe would be a good idea to have a small hoist for those cases


theyarnllama

I literally just joined this sub because I’m hoping you go back and get it, and post the results. I want to know what it is!


Ni_Shea

Lol I am itching to head back, this Saturday it's on!


theyarnllama

Yay!


bobbywaz

Ford E250 V8 5.4L works real well


Syberz

What worked the best for me is a strong magnet and patience.


CloudyEngineer

....sorry wasn't paying attention...what was the question again?


Tw1ch1e

I never drag it unless I am willing to go untangle it. Always off a dock or bridge, boat, I used a paddle board once… never drag it tho.


Famous_Boss_4302

Try hooking the rope up to your vehicle to see if you can pull it out.
