      harbor freight sells those large rolling magnets intended to clean up nails and such from shop floors or landscaping. It's exactly the tool you need (provided the springs are magnetic).
      
      Some of them are like 2 feet wide on wheels.
      
      Extra bonus that harbor freight is likely to be the cheapest way to find such a thing.
      
      Edit: Here are some links:
      
      Hand Held Magnet
      
      Rolling Magnet of DOOOM!

      I was just about to say how a few years ago, the safety spring on my Sig p238 caused me to by a "magnetic broom". I had seen one after I had my roof changed out. They "swept" my whole yard in a few min. Got one real cheap (maybe $20). Can't say it is the BEST $20 i ever spent, but it is up there. Pretty handy. Bunch of construction in my area and I make my 13 year old go out and "sweep my driveway every few months (after 2 nails in my tires). I am shocked what he comes up with. Usually 5 or 6 screws/nails per sweep. Also have not lost a spring or part that I cannot find since getting it. My tip--smaller is probably better than bigger. If looking for springs, do not need a 4 foot wide one and for most of us, the 12 inch or so size is likely more helpful in getting under benches and chairs. Here is one for $18 on Amazon
