Magnets

[Da Sand Crab]

Can't find a good, strong magnet for my sand scoop. The hardware stores here in Hawaii don't offer much of anything. Any suggestions? Thanks.

Go Online at http://Amazon.com I have magnets in all my scoops to catch small bits of iron. The trouble is it is a let down to see that nice "gold" ring sticking to a magnet.

Find the oldes computer hard drive you can. Open it up. There are 2 magnets in each hard drive. Be carefull with them and don't put your fingers between them when playing with them. They will hurt you . I secured mine by using 2 part marine apoxy to the bottom inside of my scoop. that way they do not deterioate.

Sandman, Ain't that the truth...you see the glimmer of gold in your scoop only find out it's brass, zinc, or iron. Oh well, usually snaps me out of daydreaming and helps me re-focus. Thanks for all of your info and help guys.
