I use a super magnet n50 1x1x1/4 " attached to a 15/16 " nut I have a piece of
rope tied to the thing and can coil it up and carry it anywhere. the super
magnet can pull nails out of the ground pick up a 5# hammer or nearly jerk my
arm out of its socket when i found a 2kg stone a few weeks ago. if you drag it
in the gravel it knocks the less magnetic pieces off so I swing it back and
forth just above the ground.
I use google earth to find spots near my home where the color of the
ground shows a round patch of a different color than the surrounding earth. and
search them. and near them.
I start near the top of a slope and work my way down as the heavier objects
tend to stay put near the top and are not washed down hill as you would at
first expect.
I have also tried a metal detector and have only found a few with one of
them. as an example i can pass a $600 metal detector over a small paragould
slice and not get a peep out of it ,but it easily sticks to the magnet passed
over it.
to combine both of them you can put thin super magnets on your metal
detector loop and it will still detect the metal and pick up small stones with
the magnet. Any way you choose to look it is all fun to do!
Have a great day!
Steve
