I had to put a ziplock bag over the magnet, easier to clean all the raw metal flakes I picked up. I hadn't tried to see how much weight just one magnet would pick up yet, but have had a couple of severe pinchings when they got to close together and my finger was in the way. They're strong enough that I have to pry them apart with a pocket knife, can't even slide them apart.
Sandy, Have you seen that program "METEORITE MEN"..
They walk around deserts with a magnet on a stick.. as professionals it should be the strongest magnets available.
G-X...Get some fresh batteries in that machine..Excellent practice area is "top O the hill" at Starr...You can never have enough old square nails...
A magnet could be just held in the fingers but I prefer glued to some sort of stick..

They were on again last week. At one point they were talking about their top quality magnets...
The one glued on their pick/mattock digger, looks like 4 inches X 1 inch....He said was rated at 73 pounds lift.
Last week on a science show reviewing the virtues of IRON, they took a large bowl of a top name brand cereal
that advertised " FORTIFIED WITH DAILY ADULT IRON REQUIREMENT ".....
They pulverised the cereal to a fine powder then dragged a magnet through it several times..
There it was.... ...IRON FILINGS
They didn't say if it was tempered or rust treated iron
