If you do not like your credit cards, driver licenses or any other cards that have the black strips on the back you could keep a strong magnet in your wallet. But, if you like them, do not keep a strong magnet anywhere near them, or they will not work next time you want to use it! : ) Thanks, Tom peregrineflier <>< ----- Original Message ----- From: "Darren Garrison" <cynapse_at_charter.net> To: <meteorite-list_at_meteoritecentral.com> Sent: Tuesday, August 16, 2005 5:24 PM Subject: [meteorite-list] Some of you may have a free rare earth magnet I thought that this might be of interest to some of you because of magnets being used as a diagnostic tool in identifying meteorites. There is a type of AOL disc packaging that is a bulky square cardboard and plastic clamshell box. The two cardboard flaps snap together magneticly. I had a couple of them and was mildly curious to see what kind of magnets were inside (I assumed that it would be those weak, flexible magnets that are sold in rolls in craft stores). But what was inside is a very tiny but very strong (for the size) coated rare earth magnet-- possibly a Neodymium one. If you have any AOL packages like this, it would be a nice little freebie to keep inside your wallet or something in case you might happen to need it.
