I picked up several rods that seem to be made from stainless steel
(as
everything else at that place had specks of rust).

However, they are slightly magnetic. Clearly much less magnetic than
regular steel, but magnetic enough to make magnetic darts barely
stick
to them and not fall.

What material can it be?

The rods are about 1 3/4" diameter and several feet long.

One of the 4xx series?

400 series is strongly magnetic, just like iron.
