[QUOTE="Guest, post: 14111"] Rare earth magnets are very powerful so one should do. I have mine mounted on the base of my pick handle & it is good for getting out any iron targets quickly + for those magnetic hot rocks. [b][i]P.S. check any magnetic rocks before scraping them off as I have read posts from some experienced prospectors that have found ironstone/gold speccies on the magnet & wondered how many they had scraped away before realising![/i][/b] Don't think any magnetic field is good for electronics so I keep it well away from the control box on my detector (GMT) but it doesn't cause any other interference unless of course you pass your coil over/near it. Also keep away from your credit cards & phone. They can also be handy to separate black sand from fine gold when panning or cleaning up your fine gold at home. [/QUOTE]
