Unfortunately the cost of collection and transport would likely be higher than the scrap value. 

Now if the scrotes were throwing in Aluminium or Titanium that would be a different matter. However neither would be easily retrievable by a magnet. 

Some years ago a coil of TI wire was mlslaid at RR Derby  the random search on exiting was extended to include all somr 2 weeks later the Police scuba team were checking the cut at Aston lock as reports of some one tossing something into the cut from the bridge they recovered the wire coil & the reputed value was in the late 60's £40,000 I did my share of windlass fishing during my boating period but it was always at locks lift bridges when still hand draulic

Magnet fishing should not be licensed but it should be encouraged to save issues with props being damaged and the like
