Lee Valley sells Rare Earth magnets.

However, I'd expect the magnet in a magnetic stud finder IS a rare earth

another rare earth magnet won't either.

I think this is one of those cases where there isn't a good solution to
a problem.







The best magnets I've ever used are those taken from SCSI drives.
