AS I was saying, I can feel a slight pull, sometimes a slight drag, sometimes it almost as if like poles are facing. nothing very significant, but caught me off guard.
Yes they are not ferrous metals, but they are conductors of electricity. When the magnet is moving, there is an electrical current induced in the conducting metal, which generates a magnetic field, which interacts with the magnet. The faster the movement, the greater the effect. If you hang the magnet from a thread, and the metal from another thread nearby, they will eventually settle, showing there is no attraction once there is no relative movement.
