They help a bunch...nice to hold an object with both hands while looking at it..
Great pin pointer from Garrett and Metal Detecting Stuff is my #1 source for products. Excellent service
This powerful N35 Rare Earth Neodymium Magnet is a simple and effective tool for helping identify potential impurities in gold, silver, coins, bars, jewelry, and scrap metals. Because precious metals like gold and silver are non-magnetic, magnets can help quickly detect the presence of iron or other magnetic metals.
Rare earth magnets are made from a blend of rare earth elements and are among the strongest permanent magnets available, making them ideal for metal testing and inspection.
Gold and silver are not magnetic. If a strong magnet sticks to a piece of jewelry or a coin, it may indicate the presence of iron or other base metals.
This makes magnets a quick, non-destructive first test when evaluating jewelry, coins, bullion, or thrift store finds before performing additional testing.
Place the magnet on or near the item you want to test.
• If the magnet strongly sticks, the item likely contains magnetic metals
• If the magnet slides off or shows little reaction, the item may be non-magnetic like gold or silver
Magnet testing is commonly used as a quick screening tool before performing more precise testing methods.
• Magnet Type: N35 Neodymium Rare Earth Magnet
• Size: 2 in × 3/4 in × 1/8 in
• Coating: Nickel plated
• Magnetic Strength: Up to 13,500 Gauss
These magnets are extremely strong. Handle with care and keep away from electronics, medical devices, and small children.
