Magnetic Sweeper

Back when the TV show "Meteorite Men" was on I made this Magnetic sweeper to cover more ground while walking about , It has 30 rare earth magnets that can rotate 360' & go over very rough terrain , Never did find a meteorite but it works Great at removing trash before Detecting !

I like that, it should work for kids toys in the house too, the dog better watch out.
I can see it now getting dragged around by the collar.


It looks like it can be broken down for packing.

I hook it up to my Jeep put it in Low Low & clean up the dry lake beds !

LOL, I like the lightening bolts on the box.

Ever considered making one with electro magnets from door magnetic locks ?

Its very nice device and very smart idea. I was 3 weeks ago in White Ccliffs and I use a magnet and rocks were pulled in. I do not know what was that. I found horse shoe which I like and do collection.
