Totally. Just running a magnet through the gutter usually turns up some interesting bits.

He was encouraging of magnetic collection of micro-meteorite particles in rain gutters and said that there is no known industrial dust that makes a spherical magnetic particle like a micro-meteorite does. He also said that dragging a powerful magnet through undisturbed land might also yield micro-meteorites.
