[meteorite-list] collecting; and a question

[VisualThinker7 at aol.com]

1.    First the question. Since I have thousands of  small rocks I've 
collected for use in my art, I think I should get a decent  magnet and check to see 
if any of them react. 
Can anyone tell me where to buy a good magnet, and what kind (manufacturer,  
strength, size etc.)?? I believe the strength of a magnet is measure in gauss, 
 but I may be wrong. Does anyone pay attention to that? or is there just some 
 particular size and weight of magnet you use?
 
2. I forgot to mention my small collection of paper currency. 
CSA notes brought back from the Civil War by my great great grandfather (he  
was in a New York regiment).
And Third Reich notes of various denominations brought back by my father  
after his journey through France, Belgium and Germany, 62 years ago. 
Also, some Woodstock / 60's memoribilia. (programs, zap comix, photo  sleeves 
from 45's).
