It looked like an ancor emblem on the heavy thing so I immediately thought of a cannon. THAT could be a heck of a find! I like your videos because you are funny, self-deprecating, and kind...when someone else (not in this video. maybe) finds something way better than you did, you're always so happy for them! You're a good guy, now go have some kids. We need more people like you in this world! :-D
5:30 This is off a paint brush, its the part that holds the wood handle to the bristles making a paint brush, the 12mm = the size aka 12 millimeters wide - Good Video mate, Thank you for sharing :)
The bikes were for you so you didn’t get homesick for Amsterdam. My granddaughter is in Manchester studying at the RNCM. Just now being able to travel from Canada to visit her.
Hi Leigh & Nikki, I reckon you scagged a cast iron bollard with an anchor engraved on it.....too heavy for two magnets......Looking forward to your Scotland adventures.......Magnet Fishing in kilts !!! ......Stay Safe Guys 🧡
5:30 part of a paint brush The heavy thing looks to be cast iron. Maybe a cannon or more likely a mooring bollard. My wife and I have always been intrigued by magnet fishing but your videos have inspired us to buy a couple and get out there. 🤙🏻
Best magnet fishing show on the net, when I go to watch one of his shows I end up watching at least a hour of his shows. Bloody legend mate , keep up the great work you and you beautiful lady . From a fellow Aussie who lives in Hobart Tasmania Australia….
So after a short google maps visit, I found that you were fishing close to the aforementioned area (Byrom Street and St John’s Gardens) If the story I posted earlier is correct, that could actually be a real cannon that belonged to Charles Edward Stuart and his army.
The story: In 1745, Charles Edward Stuart, aka ‘Bonnie Prince Charlie’, wanted the throne of Britain. His family, the Stuart dynasty, all the James and Charles kings, had been ousted from their position in 1688. Charlie invaded Scotland from France, Scotland being the ancestral heartlands of the Stuarts. He raised an army and marched on London passing through Manchester where, in the area that now forms Byrom Street and St John’s Gardens, he practised with his cannons. You might notice a small street in the area called Artillery Street. Problem was Charlies’ army was too small and despite gaining recruits in places such as Manchester, most of England was cool to the adventure. After reaching Derby he realised he was in danger of being surrounded by the overwhelming force of the British Army and retreated back to Scotland and ultimate defeat. Several Manchester men were hanged, drawn and quartered for taking part and thus, their treachery. Two of the heads were sent back as a warning and placed on the Exchange roof (roughly where the M&S cafe is on Market Street). To mark the area’s association with the insurrection and the artillery once fired here someone had a bright idea. When the area was developed with a church, two cannon were inverted and now stand at the top of St John’s Passage. They’re listed and protected as Britain’s only bang bang bollards.
@@jelgerhuis1985 I knew he got to Derby and had to turn back...there's a pub on the spot with a monument (Kern). It's the north bank of the river Trent (I believe) and would've had a basically impossible to pass marshland beyond it. It was easy enough to defend, however, Derby itself was over-run...one of the historic buildings there being used as a HQ, I believe.
Are you still at UK mate? 9th October we’ve got a metal detecting rally near Cambridge. If you want to come over just let me know. Will be a free entry for you and Nicky.
Another in a long string of fun and entertaining magnet fishing videos! Also, it is very nice to see some of Manchester! I enjoy the scenery you share almost as much as the fishing, diving, metal detecting, and mudlarking you do! Thank you! Looking forward to the next video. Ancestry DNA just upped my Scottish percentage to 35!
Lol you nearly cast your self out with the very first cast , great to see you having fun , always enjoy your content , the item at 5:25 - 5:35 with 12 MM on it is a metal Paint Brush Grommet that holds the bristles to the wooden paint brush handle - hence it would have been a 12 MM wide paint brush , Keep up the great work . 🇬🇧
I didn't realise so many countries had canals until I started watching your videos. Canals seem to be an easy way to get rid of any rubbish that sinks in all these countries. I'm so pleased you got a campervan much more comfortable for Nicki
G'day Leigh and Nicky, I'm pretty sure if you went to an oasis in the desert you would get a bike!!!🙄🙄 do you have many contacts in GB that would like you to join them??? Next stop Scotland, great travel for me especially as I can't go myself. Are there many places you can just park the van overnight? Here in Perth they have many restrictions for vans etc, so travellers have to find Caravan Parks. Well kiddo I've had my "fix" for the week, stay safe and healthy. Cheers Rosemary Perth Western Australia (71 yrs)
I don’t know if anyone called it yet but… The big nail at 7:35 is a mooring pin used to tie house boats to the bank, by the look of it it’s lost it’s eye witch is very common.
So pleased you're over in the UK. Try my home city of Sheffield, with canals and the River Don and its history of making steel, you'd be sure to finds heaps of stuff!
I wish you had two or more videos a week. I love your laugh and enthusiasm. Your very fun to watch. 👍👍👍etc. I want to buy a metal detector and a magnet but just can’t afford it right now. 🤗🥰🇨🇦
So good you can travel around Leigh better than being her in Australia and being locked in your house So many great places to see in England and doing it like you are is the best way to do it 👍👍👍
You should do the canals in Warrington...I bet you’d find all sorts of stuff in the Sankey Canal. A kid was fishing in a pond in Warrington and his fishing line snagged a Viking gagged that was really ornate. Good luck mate...happy magnet fishing through the UK
You ought to go back there and see if the anchor on top of the metal 'pipe' is a military emblem, part of the 'canon'. Fun adventures in the United Kingdom!! Well appreciated while drinking coffee!!
Get those footballers to help you pull it up. They looked like they were strong AND free for a couple of minutes. 😁 Thanks for another fun video of your road trip. However much Nicki makes as camera person, it's not enough. 😄 She's great! 👍🏼
If you get a chance, when you're in Scotland, meet up with Willie & Sarah, of Dirty Secrets of Scotland. I suspect the 4 of you would really hit it off. There's also the Northern Mudlarks, and Scottish Mudlarking. What ever you get up to, have a blast! 🎉See you on the next video. ❤😄
Hey Bondi mate. I am Erik from Holland,and if you look close at the first time you filmed under water. You can see a anchor chaped ornament. Maybe,but just very maybe. You found not a pipe or tube. But very maybe a canon. Or something of nautical kind. Hope you will get back to that place to investigate. Greatings and love. Erik
good job bikes bring back memories heavy pipe who really knows maybe some one some day will find it nice canal pretty bridges in area thanks see you later
The thing you were trying to get a videotape underwater of had a ships anchor design on it and it look like a pipe it's probably an old cannon maybe a custom-made cannon from Pirates
Stop off at hadrians wall at the centre of Britain and give me a shout on your way to Scotland and I'll take you to a few good places. You could find a Roman artefact. Also you can show me how to work my metal detectors. 😁😉👍
If that is a cannon that would be so interesting, so you have to pull that out of there so we can see it.😁 I can't wait to see you go to Scotland. TY for the adventures.
Thanks for making them brilliant videos I have been watching you for about a year now mate shout from England in fleetwood are you going Scotland next time?
@5:38 That is the ferrule from a half inch paint brush- and given it also says 12mm, harks back to the time when the UK belonged to the EU, when I could travel freely in Europe- yes I am bitter about BrexSHIT!
The heavy thing the magnet is on at 12:07 looks like it has an anchor and rope emblem on it which to me says Navy, and later it looks like it might be a cannon. Though I don't know how the British Navy could have lost a cannon in that little canal.
The 12mm is a 12 millimeter brush thingy. Like from a paint brush
Boss
Yes it is it’s called ferrule
Most definitely
Great call check out our 75 guns with magnets
He could not work that out for himself 🤣
It looked like an ancor emblem on the heavy thing so I immediately thought of a cannon. THAT could be a heck of a find! I like your videos because you are funny, self-deprecating, and kind...when someone else (not in this video. maybe) finds something way better than you did, you're always so happy for them! You're a good guy, now go have some kids. We need more people like you in this world! :-D
That was definitely a cannon
12mm paint brush
Or don't have kids its up to you...
I also seen the anchor ⚓ emblem
I immediately thought cannon too definitely looked like a cannon as well, could of been a major find!
5:30 This is off a paint brush, its the part that holds the wood handle to the bristles making a paint brush, the 12mm = the size aka 12 millimeters wide - Good Video mate, Thank you for sharing :)
The bikes were for you so you didn’t get homesick for Amsterdam.
My granddaughter is in Manchester studying at the RNCM. Just now being able to travel from Canada to visit her.
The heavy object looked like a cannon with the emblem on top that would explain the weight aswell
That’s what I thought. I recognize an anchor emblem of some sort.
That was my first thought too.
Yes I think you are right, wow! Someone have to try getting it out! 😱
That's what it looks like to me too c cannon
Yea my mum just said the same! I think we’re on to something guys! 😄
Hi Leigh & Nikki, I reckon you scagged a cast iron bollard with an anchor engraved on it.....too heavy for two magnets......Looking forward to your Scotland adventures.......Magnet Fishing in kilts !!! ......Stay Safe Guys 🧡
Heavy object looked like a cannon , didn't you see the anchor emblem on it , deffo would go back for that one mate 👍
just a cast iron mooring bollard, loads of them around the canal.
5:30 part of a paint brush

The canal wasn't there then its a bollard
A paint brush Handel bro 🏴👍🏾
In mm so not so old
Exactly a paint brush ferrule
Are you still at UK mate?

Nice to see you and Nicky having fun in the UK. Thanks for sharing your adventures.
You would probably find a bicycle in the Arctic, LOL. Argh, must start lifting weights, exercising back, legs and arms to lift those bikes out, LOL
Lol you nearly cast your self out with the very first cast , great to see you having fun , always enjoy your content , the item at 5:25 - 5:35 with 12 MM on it is a metal Paint Brush Grommet that holds the bristles to the wooden paint brush handle - hence it would have been a 12 MM wide paint brush , Keep up the great work . 🇬🇧

BTH 🤘👍🏼🍺 First shot with go pro shows a anchor symbol on something big 👍🏼
It did remind me of a cannon let us know if you find out, nice hunt. See you on the next one. 🇺🇸
🍿😎👍 enjoying the vacation. Looking forward to visiting Scotland 😁✌❤♻️
Thanks for taking us on vacation with you!! I just Love watching your videos! 🍺 Cheers
British naval cannons can have anchors engraved on them. Cylindrical, hollow middle, engraved with an anchor, weighs a tonne.... IT'S A CANNON!!
it is a cast iron mooring bollard, I have two identical ones in my garden.
G'day Leigh and Nicky, I'm pretty sure if you went to an oasis in the desert you would get a bike!!!🙄🙄 do you have many contacts in GB that would like you to join them???

Glad you and Nikki are enjoying the Camper....FUN
I think,the bikes are follow you!When ever,where ever you fishin...the bikes are there;oDD
Looked like a cannon....thought I saw an anchor emblem on it?! Interesting for sure!
Did I miss a view of the camper van you guys built? I love all the out of the way places you video - places we'd never see without you! Thanks
mary look back at his old vids theres one showing the convertion
Nicely done two thumbs thank you great camera work
👍👍
Thanks bondi, seen you on Instagram and recognise this area on Manchester. So here I am all subscrip. 🙂👍🏻
@5:40 looks like the part between handle and brushes on a paint brush.
Nice partners with you. All the best on the next stop! Cheers mate! 🇳🇿🏴😊👍🇺🇸
Pleasure to be there with you. 👍🏻 Keep safe and God bless
So much fun seeingcyou go all over to magnet fish. Better luck on your next venture
A very interesting place to fish 👍 👍 👍
I don’t know if anyone called it yet but… The big nail at 7:35 is a mooring pin used to tie house boats to the bank, by the look of it it’s lost it’s eye witch is very common.
there are lots of miles of Canals in Yorkshire, you ought to come down. Stanley Ferry has a lot of moorers and no doubt they drop stuff...
Did you notice at 2:07 the bike is called MuddyFox, it's living up to its name!
So pleased you're over in the UK. Try my home city of Sheffield, with canals and the River Don and its history of making steel, you'd be sure to finds heaps of stuff!
cool to recognise the parkour spots all around
Hi the 12mm is a paint brush sleeve. Love watching your videos.
Hi so cool meeting up with different magnet fishers on your travels!!! I love seeing all the different places you explore!
That looks like an old cannon
still sitting on its wheels,
how cool is that!!
Thats exactly what it is you can tell its super old by the way the rope was made
‘DENNIS!! I FOUND A COUPLE OF BIKES!!’ 🤣😂
😂😂😂
Hii Leigh and Nicky.love this vlog 👍🤘😊♥️
I wish you had two or more videos a week. I love your laugh and enthusiasm. Your very fun to watch. 👍👍👍etc. I want to buy a metal detector and a magnet but just can’t afford it right now. 🤗🥰🇨🇦
So good you can travel around Leigh better than being her in Australia and being locked in your house
So many great places to see in England and doing it like you are is the best way to do it 👍👍👍
Two bikes with two casts pretty cool
Ooh, I like the dragging of the magnet, that seems like a good technique.
Nearly chucked your self in brudda love it 😂😂😂😂😂
You should do the canals in Warrington...I bet you’d find all sorts of stuff in the Sankey Canal. A kid was fishing in a pond in Warrington and his fishing line snagged a Viking gagged that was really ornate. Good luck mate...happy magnet fishing through the UK
Good video...The item you left could be an old cannon barrel it had an anchor on it!
12mm thing was part of a paint brush . i got 3 blades from under that first bridge a few month ago lol
paint brush 12mm goes over the handle and bristles
Good seeing you again ! Glad you got sun shine ! 😘🤗👍🏻
The 12mm thingy is a viking artefact and is priceless, they must have lost it when doing their raids along Manchester canals 🤣
Should've come to Liverpool and done the Leeds Liverpool Canal. Loads of safes and shopping trolleys in it!
I thought you were going in the drink off your first cast! Lol
I had never even heard about something like this (magnetfishing) before I found your channal a week ago!....but now I'm hooked on it!!😁
Bondi thats funny you caught a muddyfox bike in the muddy canal. Lol
There was a anchor on that.. for sure thats something good.. possibly a cannon
You ought to go back there and see if the anchor on top of the metal 'pipe' is a military emblem, part of the 'canon'. Fun adventures in the United Kingdom!! Well appreciated while drinking coffee!!
Nope no mic problems today bondi 🤣 great epic spot you went!
Good fun you have. I love seeing what you pull up mate 👍🏼👍🏼
What a great location to fish. (the aquaduct). The 12mm looks like the metal on a paintbrush. Definitely a giant, huge pipe.
🏴Cool magnet fishing manchester 🏴
Get those footballers to help you pull it up. They looked like they were strong AND free for a couple of minutes. 😁 Thanks for another fun video of your road trip. However much Nicki makes as camera person, it's not enough. 😄 She's great! 👍🏼

But very maybe a canon. Or something of nautical kind. Hope you will get back to that place to investigate. Greatings and love. Erik
cool fishing. Manchester looks interesting. want to show or tell us how you built your camper van ? that's cool too
The little doodad at 5 1/2 mins in connects the bristles to the handle of a 1/2 inch or 25 millimetre paint brush
Awesome video as usual was great meeting you both at the Birmingham colab xx
Thank you. Big like👍👍
good job bikes bring back memories heavy pipe who really knows maybe some one some day will find it nice canal pretty bridges in area thanks see you later
Hi Leigh and Nikki. Love, love your videos. Love from Kentucky USA 💕.
Piece of a 12mm paint brush.the metal keeping the brushes and the wooden handle together
The thing you were trying to get a videotape underwater of had a ships anchor design on it and it look like a pipe it's probably an old cannon maybe a custom-made cannon from Pirates
I love your videos not only do you help clean the environment but you teach us about some of the finds
Stop off at hadrians wall at the centre of Britain and give me a shout on your way to Scotland and I'll take you to a few good places. You could find a Roman artefact. Also you can show me how to work my metal detectors. 😁😉👍
5:25 - That bit of metal is what connects the handle and the hairs of a paint-brush.
The 12mm thing was a paint brush ferrule!
I have a camper too would love to meet up with you guys and have a fish before you leave the UK
As a bald man I wish I had your glorious hair.
😄 👍
I think you need an underwater drone ! 👍
If that is a cannon that would be so interesting, so you have to pull that out of there so we can see it.😁 I can't wait to see you go to Scotland. TY for the adventures.
I watch several UK magnet fishers and the amount of junk they pull up is staggering. You will always find something.👍👍
Thanks for making them brilliant videos I have been watching you for about a year now mate shout from England in fleetwood are you going Scotland next time?
The ones in Amsterdam are called Dutch barges the ones you were looking at here are called Narrow boats.
@5:38 That is the ferrule from a half inch paint brush- and given it also says 12mm, harks back to the time when the UK belonged to the EU, when I could travel freely in Europe- yes I am bitter about BrexSHIT!
Looked like a cannon to me. Also looked like an anchor emblem on top.
🏴Bondi treasure hunter magnet fishing 🏴🏴cool magnet fishing manchester 🏴
I think the 12mm could be the metal banding on a small paint brush
Nice bud 😎 happy hunting 🏴
The small thing you asked about looks like the metal bristle holder part of a paintbrush!
Bro, I don't even care what you find.
I come here to hear your Awesome Laughing!!!
😄👍
at 12:10 can you see the anchor on the side of what he found underwater, looks like cast iron bollard or something like that
bristle holder off a 12mm 1/2 paint brush
The heavy thing the magnet is on at 12:07 looks like it has an anchor and rope emblem on it which to me says Navy, and later it looks like it might be a cannon. Though I don't know how the British Navy could have lost a cannon in that little canal.
That big pipe looks like a cannon. It has the collar like a cannon...Fun finds!
The 12mm is a brush sleeve. Usually a cheap plastic or wood brush for painting.
Thank you so much for sharing another great adventure.
May God continue to bless you and your's Amen
