Abstract
An improved magnetic pick-up device and marker for use in games includes a rectangular ferromagnetic member having a length substantially greater than width. The ferromagnetic member is fixedly received in a rectangular socket affixed to an elongated handle. The handle with the ferromagnetic member affixed thereto may then be used to retrieve a circular marker formed of translucent material and having ferromagnetic properties after the marker has been utilized as an indicator in a game.
