[Az-Geocaching] Magnets

[Bill A]

Brian is correct, they are from disk drives.  Usually two can be found in a
drive.  Does require very small torx screwdrivers to remove.  If you only
need one or two I have a couple you can have.  I like to leave them in ammo
can caches, a real challenge to remove!
