I think that for some, this method may be useful in life, maybe not right now, of course, but someday...
Will need
To search for fasteners made of ferrous metals we will need:
- Regular thread 1 m.
- Small magnet. Absolutely anything will do: from a refrigerator, from an earphone, from a motor, etc.
How to search?
Everything is as always very simple. We tie a thread to the magnet so that it does not fly out of it during the search. That's all! Our miracle detector is ready.
Next, we draw magnets suspended on a string along the desired sections of the wall. As soon as the magnet detects metal, it will magnetize itself to it, thereby pointing to the place where the metal will be. If there is not enough strength to magnetize, then the vibrations of the magnet will clearly show where a nail or pin is hidden in the wall.Let's tear off a piece of masking tape and mark the spot.
Very good results are obtained when using neodymium magnets. These are usually found in cell phone speakers. True, their shape will not allow you to tie them with a rope. But in this case, superglue can save you, with which you can glue a thread to it in a couple of seconds.
Basically, everything is available. Take note, friends!
