Some magnets can hold the pin strongly enough. However, The Wizard of BC pointed out that the magnet also gets stuck to anything iron that you walk buy, including poles and bumpers.

As Ted has said, I have never had a problem with losing my kilt pin using magnets. But to his other point, I am able to continue to fund my kilting by selling the scrap iron that comes home with me. The most profitable being the 1955 t-bird.

That is honor, and there are way too many people in this country who no longer understand it." anon

It was actually The Wizard of BC's point.

Voila!
I think he meant he doesn't want to put a hole in his kilt. I too have found no reason to do so.

Has anyone seen a wolf kilt pin?? They seem hard to come by, and especially a rampant Wolf.
