From what it looks like, they are keeping all the scrap and hopefully disposing of it responsibly rather than lobbing it back in at the end of the day.

We watch Northhants magnet fishing and they used to regularly meet up with Peaky Dippers. The scrap gets collected by a scrap merchants and the profits went into a charity. Yes they find an occasional treasure and they do keep some stuff. Other bits have been returned to the owners, handed in to police, blown up by the bomb squad.The tiny amount of history your losing VS the huge amount of trash cleaned up would be like bitching about a street sweeper pocketing 10p

An odd thing to get annoyed about, seems like a rather harmless hobby. No one else is pulling up that 'history' so if there's anything significant then better they find it than it just stays in the water and continues to rot.
