    You need to generate Eddy currents in the magnetic field between the two magnets for it to work. So unless the beans either copper, steel or aluminum it won't work

    Lee scale has two magnets either side of beam pointer end. Common for people to swap out for stronger ones or simply put a small penny type magnet on bench below pan, it seems to work reliably/accurately.

    Yes, you can add stronger magnets. Speeds up the process but no effect on accuracy.

    Hunt safe, look after the bush & plug more pests. The greatest invention in the history of man is beer.

    A bit more bang is better.
