Hi Shane, haven't been on here for awhile I guess!  Yes, there is a small magnet sitting on top of the nail.

have you got a small neo magnet on that

I got mine from a shop that rebuilds electric motors but if you want finer wire like most guys use for pickups, you'll probably find some on the internet.  Good luck.  (Sorry I just found your email!)

tnx
