I have never used a magnet cane, nor will I ever, and I always
advise new hunters against their use. A magnet cane is basically
an H-, L-, iron, and stony-iron filter. I sometimes carry an LL6
with me to the desert on the off-chance I'll run into someone using
a magnet cane. That usually "cures" them. ;-)
