Has anyone tried the brass/nut wizard for picking up brass? I am just wondering if it works and how may rocks it picks ups

I've never used one but I think it would best be used where the floor is flat as in an indoor range or outdoor range with a concrete slab floor. I think that rocks would be picked up along with casings on a gravel or limestone surface. Anything that can wedge through the wire grille would be captured inside the cage.

Yep, we used a couple of them, and now we don't. We're an outdoor range and we got more rocks than cases and missed a bunch as well. What we did do was buy those cheap HF magnets and swept the range, then picked up the brass with our brass magnets.

Brass magnet? Is this a euphemism for something?

Boy, I wish I hadn't lost my brass magnet.

Here is what I've been thinking about. http://www.cleanairgardening.com/pecanpicker.html

The next time I'm in Lowe's or a farm supply store I'm gonna look and see if I can figure out a way to make one of these work. I found another one on line the other day for $10 so if I mess it up I ain't lost much.

I've always heard that necessity was the mother of invention. I can go along with that but I think maybe laziness is the father and somewhere in its lineage is curiosity and pigheadedness.

Another one of those things that looks great and after using a few times gets left at home and you just end up bending over and picking up your brass.

But then again help the economy and make yourself $45 poorer, money better spent on the higher priced ammo.

Brass magnet?

Yep, they work great, they're free easy to use, and portable. The only thing you might need to buy is knee pads.

LOL! I get it now...

Up here in Maine we rake blueberries when in season. Google blueberry rake for an idea of what they look like, and just modify the handle so it rakes up at a 45 degree angle and is longer. Think a dustpan/scoop with tines of a fork. Use a large nail magnet on a pole to get rid of the steel first, and rake/scoop up all that gold-I mean brass. I just use the blueberry rake in the field behind the house to get the brass out of the tall grass. I think Tractor Supply has these rakes.

A friend of mine that shoots with his kids tells me that they are the best "brass magnets" he has seen.

I have several they work well on uneven ground and really save the back. The bag-a-nut is faster if the ground is flat but you can be selective with the nut wizard (leave aluminum and steel behind). If your on concrete just get a broom and dust pan.
