[QUOTE="Moneybox, post: 642017, member: 3960"] [ATTACH type="full"]1170[/ATTACH] Rare earth magnets are available at most prospecting stores. I buy these ten or so at a time off Ebay and we use them for all sorts of things like fastening sun shades and holding things in place. These have a chamfered hole in the centre so they can be fastened with a screw if needed. I don't like to have it on the pick because it collects too much iron and is difficult to keep clean. Sometimes the signal will disappear when you dig and if the magnet is not clean you can't be sure if it's there on you've just moved it. [ATTACH type="full"]1171[/ATTACH] I use one of these magnets in my pill bottle and carry it attached to a little horse shoe on the front of my harness. After using it I give it a quick shake and with the movement of the magnet the bottle ends up perfectly clean for next time. [/QUOTE]
