Oh, how thick of material and what kind?

Paul Lamar responded:

Probably 3/16th mild steel.

I don't know if there are non-magnetic mild steels out there, but in
order to avoid them you might want to specify "magnetic mild steel".
Magnetic sensors don't work too well with non-magnetic materials.  They
can be made to work, but they're hard to work with.

Wow! Russell I did not know that.

Mild steel is always magnetic.  There are some stainless steels that
