apw5746 Posted August 5, 2009 Report Share Posted August 5, 2009 This should apply to a majority of you.Here in Colorado, a lot of the areas I prospect have loads of black sand. After a good days use, the super magnet on my pick is covered. What methods seem to work best at keeping the magnet(s) clean? Thanks.h20prospector Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dakota Slim Posted August 5, 2009 Report Share Posted August 5, 2009 Hi h20. I try to keep mine as clean as possible so I can spot new items that it picks up. When I clean mine, I pull off as much trash as I can and then give the pick a sharp rap on a large rock. It doesn't get all the black sand off but it gets most of it. If anyone has a better way I'd like to hear it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Put a peace of Duct Tape over the Magnet . At the end of the day just peel it away! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nuggetslayer Posted August 6, 2009 Report Share Posted August 6, 2009 I just clean it off with my hands it only takes two seconds. Or like they said up top hit it against a rock. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Are you the person who hunts with LuckyLundy? If so, you two seem to have it dialed in as far as nugget hunting goes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
