O.k. First full Summer with the new pond and so far I've managed to "throw" a sling blade in the water chopping at dead submerged vegetation and drop my $$$ pocketknife in cutting a rope on the dock! Unable to retrieve them with a magnet, I suspect they'll be caught on the other end of a line one day.
