arranged to see the car Sunday.  I will post to the group, If it is still
for sale, after I see it.

Forging changes the grain structure of the steel and seems to lock in
whatever magnetic field is there when the forging is done.  It seems
strange that there would be much field there, however.  How strong
were the ones you tested?  Could you pick up a steel nut?
