Honest (maybe ignorant) question: how do you get PVC pipe with a magnet?

When we pull the magnets in they drag across the floor and sometimes pull other items up with it like PVC, rugs, clothes, etc

A friend drunkenly threw a brand new Cat’s Eye Pub t shirt in the harbor in, I think 2010? Let me know if you find my shirt!

Very cool! If you find something like a scooter that belonged to the city or one of those rental places, do you have to notify or give it back to them? Or do you get to keep anything you find as salvage?

Edit: Ah I see in another response you said scooters are reported.

What about if you find a weapon - I assume you have to report that too?

Scooters, bikes, furniture, etc fall under abandoned property and technically you can keep them if you want. I've been notifying the scooter companies about the items and they come and get them.

If they're not picked up in a timely manner, /u/bmorecitydot fines them :)

Guns are reported and picked up by the police.

That’s right! Every scooter we have to pick up helps fund projects throughout the city 😊

Seeing your magnet fishing hauls is always the highlight of my day. Btw seeing you guys do this gave me a little inspiration to buy a couple trash grabbers and walk with my family around the neighborhood to pick up roadside trash. Not as cool as magnet fishing obviously but my kids think it's crazy good fun. Cheers.

What do you do with it all?

TopS3cr3t OP t1_j63qhze wrote

Bag the trash if its small, place larger items near the bins, and scooters are reported.

I joined the Baltimore subreddit when I started a job here. My 6-month assignment is almost over, and it has been so wholesome watching this group grow during my time here.

I love that you do this, but it lowkey makes me sad that there is so much crap in the harbor you can do this every week.
