Today I MADE

[G0lddigg@]

Most old car speakers have a vert strong magnet in the back of them.... Maybee good for black sand..

Magnets out of computer hard drives are rare-earth and come in 2's (Wickedly strong, don't get your fingers caught between them) and easy enough to come by.

There are some you-tube vids on how to remove them - google removing hard drive magnets

Ive pulled a few of these out of hard drives, they are also the first magnets to smash and cut the crap out of your hands being very thin and frail i did manage to get one out perfectly round and superglue it to the end of the pick which was super handy at picking up small junk. But if i was to buy them again id go straight to ebay and get a solid one that doesnt shatter.

Yeah, ebay rare earths will do the job.

Just make sure you cover them, can be a real PITA to remove the iron scraps otherwise

Just bought 2 90kg pull strength rare earth for a job we are doing, one of the guys just had to see how strong they are, 10mins later and a screwdriver, it was wedged off the steel girder it was magnetised to

Today I made a list of areas I want to hit up hopefully on the weekend (if the rain will hold off long enough to get to there!)

 

[TheSilentBugler]

I made a whoopsie.

 

[SCROUNGER]

Not sure i should ask but here goes. What's a whoopsie TSB?

 

[TheSilentBugler]

Knocked over a vial of fines.

Got almost all back thanks to the little Dyson handheld.

Idiot!

 

[TheFossickingKid]

I did the same thing but it was a good size flake. I was emptying a pan of material but I went to quick into the water and the flake disappeared. :|

 

[TheSilentBugler]

Yeah, this was real small stuff, and carpet.

Little vac would be an awesome prospecting tool, but alas, she'd kill me, and so would the ranger

 

[SCROUNGER]

Oh, that sort of whoopsie. I did that on the weekend with 9 small gold nuggets. Took me and hour i reckon to sort through the the leaves etc to retrieve them all. Problem was i wasn't sure how many i'd dropped so i spent another 5 minutes detecting just to make sure i had them all :lol: :lol: That's the third time it's happened to me so i'll see your idiot and raise you one TSB

 

[TheSilentBugler]

What makes you think this was the first time?

Still, who am I to question anyone's rank on the idiocy leaderboards.

Mate of mine had 2 stacks of 40mmX10mm rare earth magnets and tried to put them together slowly so they didn't bang together. He was resting against his stomach and they snapped together with a bit of his skin between!

 

[Sa_bogan]

[G0lddigg@]

[TheSilentBugler]

[Jaros]
