Magnet fishing can be dangerous. NEVER go to into the water if you get your magnet stuck. You could get stuck yourself. Beware of string river currents. People have died doing this hobby, so BE CAREFULL!
There is actually legislation that prohibits the removal of anything from Britain's Canal system. However, given that you may be helping to remove material which could damage boats on the waterways or could trap people who fall in the waterways, you might want to check with your local Canals and Rivers Trust representative as they may be sympathetic to your intentions.
By and large the best places are under canal and river bridges. If you want to know where they are in your area, do a search of the form on this page. Many bridges in the UK date back to ancient times. For example this photograph from the 1930s shows just one of the many Roman bridges still part of the modern British waterway system.
There have been lots of amazing finds from people magnet fishing. The image below is of an Anglo Saxon warriors sword that was found in the river Frome in Dorset
