Surprisingly, yes. The holy grail of magnet fishing enthusiasts are weapons (that are then usually turned over to police).

I haven't tried metal detecting, but we went magnet fishing once. Caught lots of fish hooks and one mostly rusted but still intact shock absorber.

Dad let me watch Poltergeist when I was 6 and Mom let me watch The Shining when I was 7. I was also 7 when the Thriller video came out, and I think that scared me more.

To someone with ADHD, this is like telling them to just pull ya'self up by yer bootstraps. 🙃

My motivation

A picture of my grandfather standing next to a woman, taken before he met my grandmother, and she is holding a baby. It didn't surface until after grandpa's funeral. It was taken 500 miles away from where my family lives. I live in that other city now. I wonder if I've met my half aunt or uncle randomly in passing?

Am Appalachian. This sounds about right.

Have you tried used vacuums from op shops/ thrift stores/ flea markets?

New vacuums in the budget category are not built to stand up to daily use. It may be worthwhile to look for a secondhand premium brand.

I've rescued wasps from the pool as well even though they & I are mortal enemies. 1) it was in the water with me & I didn't want it considering me a liferaft, and 2) smushing it was not an option. It flew away, hopefully to tell its brothers that I'm worthy of a brief ceasefire.

Fun anecdote, in DC the east/west streets are named A St, B St, C St, and so on. But not i street. Capital i could be confused with L Street, so all the signs are written "Eye St"
