A SHOPPING trolley and a destroyed wheely bin were among the finds magnet fishers pulled from the river.

Crowds of interested walkers gathered around the Peaky Dippers as they used magnets to pull items from the River Severn.

As well as their equipment, they had also set up tripods to record their finds ready for YouTube. 

Their haul has been piled up on the riverside near South Quay and cordoned off with red and white tape ready for removal.

A yellow caution notice was also placed on the pile.

Among the haul were several shopping trolleys, bike wheels, a wheelie bin and various bits of scrap metal.

It was a far cry from December when their find closed off the riverside at South Quay.

The Peaky Dippers found an 18-pound unexploded artillery shell and police were called who cordoned off the riverside on Wednesday, December 28. 

At the time, magnet fisher Nigel Lamford said: "When I found it, I thought - 'not again'. This is not the first one we have found, we've shut down the River Thames and a train station in Birmingham over what we have found."

South Quay was closed off for several hours and the unexploded Second World War bomb was later detonated in a farmer's field in Worcestershire.

Over the past three and a half years, the Peaky Dippers have posted their findings on YouTube which has amassed a total of almost nine million views. 

The moment the group of magnet fishers pull the unexploded First World War bomb out of the River Severn has since been released on YouTube.

While showing the viewers what the bomb looked like, Mr Lamford said: "Oh well, looks like we're leaving early today, flipping heck...not good, not good at all."

The YouTubers videos get thousands of views with several being filmed in Worcester with the video about the unexploded bomb being viewed almost 39,000 times.

Canal and Rivers Trust says it does not allow magnet fishing as it can be extremely dangerous.

"Items dragged out by magnets could be sharp or heavy and cause you to be dragged into the water.

"We’ve even had reports of people fishing out old war bombs and dumped weapons."
