Thread: Why is magnet fishing illegal in SC and nowhere else?

Google it. SC underwater antiquities act does not allow it. Stupid I know! They think historical and war relics will be disturbed in the rivers and streams and they don't get first dibs. I bought my grandson one this past year. Our plan is to go
to NC and get under a bridge and see what he can find. Good luck

googled it because I was interested in trying it, and started seeing how it's illegal in SC but nowhere else..an old law on the books I'm guessing

Google search states:

Activities such as Magnet Fishing are prohibited in South Carolina waterways and SCIAA does not issue Hobby Licenses for this potentially destructive practice.
