Letting the spirits find hidden nails

I always enjoy your posts. Always some good entertainment and wisdom in them.

Thanks,
Charley

I agree with Charlie

Good info, Oliver. And a fun video, as well!

I had to use a rare earth magnet yesterday when I was cleaning my work area with the shop vac and sucked up the tiny hinge screws for a small box I'm building. The screws were actually stuck in the ribs of the hose but I got them out. I didn't have any fun music, though. :wink:

What a great idea Oliver, I have heaps of rare earth magnets but never thought of using one like that.

That's incredible, Oliver. I'm gonna get me a Ouija Board. The only nails I can find right now are my finger nails.

I find that hard to believe... we've seen the guitars...

Hoo ray, Oliver's back!

I will use that. Thanks for the entertaining tip.

Thanks Oliver, it is too simple tho for us mortals. HEHE

Oliver sure is a trip...

@ swarfmaker.Hi Ronald,have you tried removing the magnets & storing them when not using your detector. I have found this works with my calipers,otherwise I need a new battery every time . Just a thought, James.

Amusing. I have dumped all my flat battery stuff. If it doesn't have AA or AAA batteries, it's not going into my shopping cart. How is it they run a computer clock for a decade and only last 20 minutes in a tool? Lord save the mechanical gauges!
