Magnets and a pi machine?

[rykroll]

I was wondering if I attach a few magnets to the bottom of my scoop to pick up that pesky iron bits would the magnet hurt the pi machine? Thank you for any feed back HH happy Easter!

No it will not. Most of us have a rare earth magnet on our scoops.

Just keep the magnet from getting right next to the control housing, and you should be just fine. I keep a rare earth magnet in the bottom of the basket of my scoop -- it snaps up all the iron junk, making it easy to see/recover and move on to the next target.

With a PI machine magnets are your friends! Lol

Yes, but this depends on where he's detecting at. All beaches are different.
