Golden watch back after 30 years! Sensation when magnet fishing!
The magnetic hobby led to an exciting discovery: Ilias Karavelidis from Beilstein received his gold watch back after over 30 years. The watch was part of a stolen item that was found by a group of young magnet anglers during a holiday program in Oberstefeld (Ludwigsburg district). The team discovered a cash drawer in the Söhlbach, which, in addition to the clock, also contained D-Mark and Pfennig pieces as well as two Metro user cards. This remarkable return of the memorabilia shows how magnet fishing can not only be an exciting hobby, but also act as an accidental detective service [krzbb.de].
The background to this story is interesting. In the 1990s, Karavelidis had to deal with his two burglaries in the council chambers, in which the cash register was stolen. More than 30 years later, it turns out that some of the stolen goods were still hidden in the water. Markus Kronenwett, an enthusiastic magnet angler, was the lucky finder of the drawer and brought the stolen goods back to Karavelidis. Not only the watch, but also the children who found these treasures can be happy - they will receive a pizza as a reward!
Magnet fishing – a hobby with surprises
Magnet fishing is not a fundamentally forbidden activity in Germany, but it is regulated differently by each federal state. The fines for illegal magnet fishing in Germany can be quite high - in some federal states up to 500,000 euros! So it's better not to set off without the necessary permits. Especially in North Rhine-Westphalia, where official permission is required, those interested should do good preparatory work and find out about the local regulations, as bussgeldkatalog.org shows.
Despite all the legal aspects, you should also be aware of the dangers of magnet fishing. The recovery of explosive or dangerous objects can be particularly serious. That's why experts advise caution and planning. In some federal states it is necessary to inform about finds and possibly obtain permits in order to avoid legal difficulties. The legal situation is particularly uncertain in Berlin, which is why you should find out exactly how best to behave before going into the water.
The impressive story of Karavelidis and the young magnet anglers makes it clear that magnet fishing is not only an adventure, but can also help bring back lost treasures from the past. And who knows, maybe the next anglers will find their own little treasures in the water.
A look into the future
On September 6th, Markus Kronenwett will reopen his magnet fishing museum in Oberstefeld, where the drawer from the Söhlbach will be exhibited. This attraction is sure to attract many visitors and demonstrate how the world of magnet fishing is constantly evolving. From many unexpected finds to educational experiences, there will continue to be exciting stories about magnet fishing in the future. Maybe even more adventurers will be drawn to the water to discover the secrets of the past!
