Had roofers redo the roof awhile ago. I checked the lawn for errent nails thinking I'd find none or two. It went from mildy to infuriating.

We had a big magnet on wheels at the shop I used to work at. Could have easily modified it to work in a yard (if they don't already make such a thing).

They do and my roofing contractor did this very thing during cleanup this year. Had three of them.

There were still some small pieces of trash here and there, but nothing egregious or metallic.
