I do that, too, Gerald.

Has anyone on here used these magnets to separate aluminum and other
non-ferrous metal?

Tom,

Where did you get a neodymium magnet of that size. I would love to have
one
that size or bigger.

I have some that came out of hard drives and they are powerful, to say the
least.

My dear sister asked me how to retrieve a key on a ring that had fallen
into a crack next to the stoop at home. I handed her a 2" dia. by 1"
niobium magnet. When I got to the house that night, I was a bit
surprised
to see her purse mounted on the side of her front left fender. Boy, was
she ****ed about driving 15 miles home like that! I especially liked
the
twine tying her purse shut. I didn't plan it...HONEST!!!


I have one, 1/4" dia. x 1" long that I regularly drop thru a 3/8"
copper tube to confuse observers.
