I have never found one and only used mine a few times. Bought it to recover a rifle I lost whene I flipped my kayak busting through to check beaver traps. Man that was a COLD trip that could have been bad. I did have a bnice large beaver waiting at the end of the wire though. I recovered the rifle a few weeks later. Luckily it was stainless. Took over a month before the stock shrunk back down and matched the butt plate. It was 3/32 to an 1/8 past it all the way around when recovered. Never saw a magnet stick to stainless steel.

There's different grades of stainless steel. Some grades of stainless have a weak attraction to magnets. Tom with iScrap does a good job of explaining stainless steel differences. I also know they're scrap metal enthusiasts on trapperman that can probably explain it better than me.

I once tried using one fishing for steelheads.
No luck.

I have wondered about using them to find firearms and other valuable items. Got a bridge on a major highway I bet is a regular spot for dumping hot items.
How many lies will people believe before they realize their own idiocy?

Plenty of alloys out there that will stick. Ask any machinist.
