    In respect to this, what happens if you drop something down the drain?

    Although a tad unlikely, it's possible that your lost item got stuck on its way down the drain and is accessible by hand, stick, or retractor.

    How do you get an object out of the shower drain?

    A coat hanger wire or big plastic wire tie can work in a pinch. The shower may require you to go underneath the house and make the long, dirty crawl to reach the trap. If it's not either of them then you're going to need at least a drain snake or drain cleaning rod.

    How can I retrieve something that has dropped into a small but very deep hole?

    Put a loop of adhesive tape, or a blob of chewing gum on the bottom of the weight. Lower the weight into the hole, so the adhesive rests against the object, then pull out slowly. A stick (such as a dowel or yardstick) or retractable tape measure could also stand in for the string, if you need more control.

    • Is sterling silver magnetic?

    Answer: Real sterling silver is 92.5% pure silver; the most common alloy used to harden it is copper, and neither of these metals is magnetic. Often a clasp is made of something different that may be magnetic, but if the chain you describe sticks to a magnet, then sadly it is not “sterling” and should not be marked “.
