   Hematite is a magnetic metal and a small amount of it can produce fields up to 600 gauss (http://cgi.ebay.ca/MENS-JEWELRY-MAG...029171967QQcategoryZ10297QQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItem). How many gauss are necessary to damage things such as a computer screen, TV screen... What are other items that are suceptible to be damaged by magnetic fields? What about digital atches?

   Well my son has managed to hose our TV screen with some small magnetic wands - but I don't know how the field strength.
   
   We had the screen degaussed.
   
   Possibly credit cards or anything that has magnetically stored information could be harmed by a strong magnetic field.
