Funny.... I remember some of those stories Andy. Good that I am not the only WORDY one around here. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/wink.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/laugh.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/tongue.gif" alt="" />

I actually had a roofing nail bar magnet at one time, but I have sold it. I don't really do roofing and only purchased it for another project I had worked on.

That type of magnet would be good for lawns as it is on wheels with a handle and designed to roll around in yards, drives and such to pick up nails. It would be good at finding knives in grass as well. But, probably not so ideal for your dense thick brush.

I have had curious interests in the past of owning a metal detector. But, they are pretty pricy for the very little use I would get out them.


Plus, neither would be worth a flip on a hiking or camping trip far from home. As I wouldn't have either nearby.


I am going to just make a more conscious effort to be careful and recommend good sheaths and good pocket clips to keep good knives in check. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/thumbup.gif" alt="" />

And still recommend bright lanyards and webbing tags with possible glow thread for those with significant concerns. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/thumbup.gif" alt="" />
