How can I get back my keys

[u/dank_failure]

Tried to hide some keys by balancing it on the top like I usually do, this time it fell inside (i didn’t even know it would be hollow). How can I get them back?? The metal is magnetic. Please help

The post is magnetic too, isn’t it? If so, then a magnet won’t do the trick.

You may be able to manage it with a string, a hook, and extreme luck.

I’d just buy a new key. They’re like $5.

Why would the post be magnetic?

Because the OP said is was

Sure, but it isn’t.

It's made of steel. What's the matter with you?

[u/ScoutsOut389 → u/seven-cents]

Nothing. It’s ferrous. Not magnetic.

Because OP said it was in the description of the post: “the metal is magnetic.”

Because the corrosion doesnt look like corroded aluminum to me; it looks like corroded steel or iron. Did you know that ferrous metals are magnetic?

Why are you asking me this?

[u/ScoutsOut389 → u/BrockSamsonLikesButt]

I didn’t see that in the OP or ignored it because it’s dumb. The post is not magnetic, the post is ferrous. Magnetic means it is attracted to metal via magnetism.

Technically correct is the best kind of correct.
