One more thing. Once the nickel coating is cracked they very quickly deteriorate in the air. The spheres were half gone in 6 months after cracking.

Did not know that was thinking of getting one now maybe not

I heard people wrap the neo ones in duct tape. Yes, if you let the bare magnets slam against metal (like when fishing) they can crack or splinter. Don't know about those lifting ones with the framework. they must have some type of protective shell.  

Yes, 7,000 lb pull would be a bit of an overkill, but something around 1,000 lb. with a release lever might be just about right. If you read the info, it said a round surface needs twice the pull of a flat surface. Something on edge is going to require even more pull. I guess it depends on what you are after and how much you want to spend.

Yes, for $20 it's a good deal. A guy could buy a few of them and cover a wider swath. Just one tackle box could pay for it many times over. Now if a guy had a gold magnet...I wish I had bought the plans for one.

Years ago there was an ad for plans for an electromagnet that would attract gold. Don't know how it worked, but from what I have read it was alternating current (you could modify it for field/water use) probably created an induction field in the gold so it produced it's own magnetic field. Gold is slightly magnetic. Some guy told me he knew a guy that had some device that he used to pick up gold filings in his shop. Now solid gold is a different matter and it might be much more difficult, I don't know. So if you could use one on a gold producing stream, you would probably need a conventional magnet to first pull out the black sand. The question would be would the water current be too strong and wash the gold away from the magnet? This might work to catch micron gold.

It's all about that moment when metal that hasn't seen the light of day for generations frees itself from the soil and presents itself to me.
