Your posted message sure hit home! A few days ago, I was going through a box of old things that belonged to my Father. One item that caught my eye was a strong magnet with a loop for attaching a rope to it. I have no idea where my Father got this magnet, nor do I know if he ever used it or not. At one time, my folks lived down at Portland, Texas which is just across the bay from Corpus Christi. I know that my Father did lots of metal detecting in the Corpus Christi area, but he never mentioned using a magnet to find things in the water. I did not put the magnet back in the box, but brought it into the house and it is presently setting on a shelf in my bookcase across the room from me. I think that I may take it up to one of the lakes around here and see if I can find something around a pier or boat dock.

Do you know if these boys found anything with the magnet? The boy with the glasses remind me of Steve's boy, Joe. Thanks for posting this picture. Please have a great day! Kelley (Texas)

Maybe a fishing reel, or even a knife. I think that if I used it along a fishing pier or boat dock, I could possibly find something interesting. I have never tried this before, but I think it will be fun. This magnet is strong. I placed it on a metal tool box and had a hard time getting it back off so that I could bring it into the house. It is actually bigger than the size it appears to be in the photos that I posted. Please have a great day! Kelley (Texas)

get some little steel toed bug boots.Put them
on the bugs and then you could put them on the
magnet and presto, you could get some real nice
bug photos.It might not be feasible to do that
on centipedes though, due to the cost of boots.
If you try this, be sure to post photos.

any electronic equipment, including detectors. they can raise "hello" with the operation of things.
Even units with no power to them, or batteries can become affected.
I had a whites detector that was stored near a color tv once, the magnetic field from the television distorted the meter operation of the whites for over six months. it finally wore off.
An electrician friend of mine said magnets are even worse. have a good one. Jim
