 I did the outside magnet trick 
 a while ago,
 the dipstic broke in my small 
block chevy engine and i did want 
to remove the oil pan at that moment,
so, i grabbed the magnet form an old 
 speaker,stick it to the bottom side of
 the oil pan and added some duct
 tape to be sure it will stay there,

 Two months later when i serviced my
 engine, i left the magnet attached to the
 oil pan and removed the oil pan,
 the dipstic was there so was a bit
 of iron dust too....

 It wasn`;t pretty but it worked very well
