[meteorite-list] OTish be careful with those metorite-finding magnets!

[Michael Murray]

Good post Darren.  Good reminder.
Those were awful big magnets.  I keep the smaller ones I use well  
separated and don't mess with them once they are on my rake but even  
then I am really careful with where and how I use them.   Dirk's  
accident is a very good reminder of how unforgiving they can be.  I  
understand also that big NDIB magnets can come together with enough  
force to cause them to break, sending shards of the magnet in all  
directions. I can't see using those super big magnets for meteorite  
hunting anyway.
