Home made magnet

[steve in so la]

Here's a magnet I built. It has a hoop on top that a rope attaches to. I pull it along with the rope and can also toss it into bushes and such & pull it out. I put a bunch of very strong earth magnets from a mine into it and wrapped it with aluminum angle pieces. You'd be surprised what it brings out of the bushes.

Here's a pic of it, about 12 inches long, steve
