You could find a cool scooter! Or some coins!

Only ferromagnetic coins which... does anyone use those?

Most of Canada's small coins respond to magnets. Not sure about other countries.

Edit: Or even better, old ferromagnetic coins or forgotten tools from past ages if you're in areas of the old world
