I jumped into a dark cold lake to see if I could find a stuck magnet.

You did a very good thing. It shows that those mega magnets are probably to strong for average use. I use the 400 range magnets and they sometimes get stuck to flat objects like a car hood and it is still very hard to remove unless you are working at an angle. Strait on pulling does not seem to work very well in those cases.
