    Cover the magnet with something strong and thin like canvas or something. Also, put a handle on the magnet so you don't have to kneel in the juice. Love ya, man.

    If you house that magnet in a PVC tube with a cap on the end, attach a rod to magnet with a spring and a top end cover with a hole in it for the rod, you can gather, pull plunger (magnet) and all will fall off the pvc housing. That sure WAS a lucky penny

    Magnet fishing at piers and docks and community lake bridges is sometimes pretty good for knives and pliers with a occasional rod and reel. Stronger magnets and longer rope, under and around small rural roadway bridges. Not much telling what you could grab. Great Channel stay safe out there!

    Dead Parrot cages, perhaps for the elusive Norwegian Blue, they will regularly sit very quietly in their cage on a shelf :)
    The magnet is a good starting point for things like nuts, blots, washers and small assorted odds and ends, little more difficult where there are lots of stuff and mixed metals.
