nice find!! whats on it?
if you feeling destructive, their should be two enormous neodynium magnets in there. their so powerfull they are dangerous... when i last bought a set of them for a non superconductive levitation experiment they came shipped in a lead container to prevent them from damaging the electronics on the plane they were being shipped on..
these were a series of small cubes and one 3 inch one.
i got the 3 inch stick on a metal plate about 3 months ago.its been there ever since, it cannot be removed..short of saumarian cobalt, their is no stronger magnetic substance on the earth.. you havent played with magnets till youve had a few of them, wear thick gloves, they can pinch flesh into a bloody mess...
i think the three inch one i have is so powerfull that if you held it in your hand for any length of time the attraction on the iron in your bloodstream would likely cause bruising and damage to the blood vessels in your hand..
im curious what s on it though..
