  • Here is a video where I describe several types of magnets that are good for retrieving treasure. I show the kind you can toss in the river on a rope and also the type you can affix to a pick handle for iron retrieval. At the end of the video I show where you can buy them and the exact model numbers of the magnets shown.

    Guy, I've been relic hunting for 35 years around central MS and your vids have opened a whole new aspect of relic hunting for me. Keep them coming. I'm always open to learning the trial and tribulations from other diggers. We've lost so many of the old school friends and diggers from the 60's and 70's that contributed their tips and knowledge we need to pass it on to the next generation. Love watching your videos keep them coming.

    Attaching a eye on the large magnet is easy. Use a 3/8 stainless steel countersunk bolt going through the magnet. Use a 3/8 coupling nut on the back side of the magnet, and use a 3/8 eye screwed into the coupling nut.
    I picked up one of their large magnets a few months ago, and this is how I attached an eye.

  • @MrChrissy1r
    @MrChrissy1r Před 8 lety +6

    Re Eyebolts ,,, you can get eye bolts with a female thread, that is an internal thread so you can use a countersunk machine screw through the magnet.

    2 solutions to the un-threaded magnet dilemma would be either find someone with a drill press and a set of thread taps. They can thread the hole for an eye bolt. - OR - Use a flat head screw (bolt for countersunk hole) with a long nut then an eye bolt. A possible solution to the magnets attracting to each other's flat faces would be to reverse the direction of one and you can only be pinched by around 1/3rd the area of the flat face. I was thinking if a person were to make a wooden box for it with a 2x4 bottom, it might be enough to keep from attracting to metals and other magnets enough to make it safer to handle. Just a thought though since distance seems to be a big factor here.
    I enjoyed your video very much. Thank you for sharing.

  • @kimsellers1470
    @kimsellers1470 Před 8 lety +2

    I bought the MMS G Y8, with the hook. You can't stress enough just how strong these magnets are. But with that being said, don't expect to go tossing these into rivers and creeks and hauling in large items. Mud, leaves, and muck are going to probably be covering the items you're really looking for. You said it best when you suggested you locate things with the detector first. Then you can try to remove some of the debris with your foot before retrieving the find with the magnet.

    @James-lj7rm Před 8 lety

    To limit the resistance (mud factor) you could mount the larger magnet on the side of the pick handle instead of the end. The magnet would slide into the mud edgewise and not "mash" into the mud. But, I recommend this only to the brave and muscular!

  • @charleswilder2985
    @charleswilder2985 Před 6 lety

    I recommend you put that eye bolt down through the top of a cut-off small soda bottle, then screw the magnet onto it. The dome-like shape of the bottle will minimize the magnet's hanging up on junk, but it won't interfere with its attraction for ferrous items.

    Check out my magnet fishing videos, I use the K&J magnets, thanks to Beau Ouimette for introducing me to metal detecting and magnet fishing!! Thanks Chigg, you're everyones' fav on the tube...yes, use Loctite or something or they will unscrew. Go to K&J Magnetics website, then to quick links, then mounting magnets, then standard mounting magnets.

  • @MylesNicholas
    @MylesNicholas Před 8 lety

    In my day I always used a 'keeper' which is a flat disk which sits on the magnet when not in use.
    This prevents any accidental sticking to anything. Of course it needs a ring or lug so it can be removed easily for use.
    We used to leave them on the pavement for pranks or put them in the work site drink fund.
    With the neodymium magnets a copper or aluminium disk with tinplate attached would be best, nonferrous on the magnet.

    The large magnet I would try and tap and thread it I think. Might be easier overall than cutting and grinding. Great Vid.

  • @4thdimensiontravels855

    You can use a countersunk bolt and an allthread coupling to thread into an eyebolt on the unthreaded magnet. Instead of grinding the nut off.

    @kenbobca Před 7 lety +11

    They're called Neodymium magnets. I like a Neo. magnet 52, that's almost the strongest strength. Some things to keep in mind, they're Strong, don't get pinched,. Don't let the magnet get hot, heat destroys their magnetism. don't let them get scratched and like you said, they are very brittle and will break. They can also be bought on ebay.

    When transporting how do you prevent from denting your own truck,or is it like my truck bed, stuck to the side, always a tempting tie down that I am always afraid to try. I mean, would you suggest a wood box, or a cooler is better ? One thought that I was toying with was cutting up a commercial cutting board, screws and piano hinge of stainless steel as not to collect any pesky iron filings, or at least less. Great another project, like I haven't enough of them in the works, or you wouldn't have any idea about that. Ever been able to anchor your kayak to a metal bridge or something by using the magnet, or does it not work that well? Rope,pulley , and kayak fishing with magnet- making a vertical and flotation lift in deeper water possible? Pulley, rope, rope lock, anchoring system acceptable in a kayak bow, or does the stuff interfere with performance? Or is the keep it simple approach better when parking the kayak to dig?
