Ways to magnetize things.....
1. Rub it in one direction with a strong permanent magnet.
2. Coil some wire around it (maybe 50 turns or so of #14 or #16 gauge wire),
then put this in series with a high current load (like a headlamp or large
taillamp bulb), then connect it to a 12V source, like a battery.
3. Point it North and hit one end sharply with a hammer (this works,
really...just not a very strong field results).
