Magnet fishing couple pulls piece of Harrison history from Allegheny River in Lawrenceville

I have never even heard of magnet fishing but this was in our local news and I thought this particular find was interesting.
Magnet fishing couple pulls piece of Harrison history from Allegheny River in Lawrenceville

The O’Hara couple was tossing their rope from the shoreline near the 62nd Street Bridge in Lawrenceville and snagged a piece of history.


It was the first badge issued for the Allegheny Steel Co. Special Police, which patrolled the Natrona plant from 1901 into the 1930s.


Allegheny Steel merged with Ludlum Steel in August 1938 to create Allegheny Ludlum, now ATI, making the badge about a century old, if not older.

Just search magnet fishing on YouTube. It's pretty crazy what is pulled from the water.
