Argh is right. Your image exceeds reasonable size guidelines, being over four thousand pixels high.

If you break up the big image into individual pictures that are 900 pixels wide and 600 pixels tall, they will display inline in a size that is easy to see.

iron chunks and when does the wire begin reading south if at all?

how do you probe for south? using another magnet?  another magnet with a wire?  a compass?  piece of paper covering everything and some iron fillings?

moving up too 2 or more magnets, and trying to find "multi pole" setups in copper wires and iron rods

questions...
how do you even test for a "8 multi pole" copper wire or iron rod?

---compass?
---using another magnet with another copper wire attached to it to use wire as a probe? 
---using another magnet with a small diameter iron rod attach to the magnet to act as a probe?
---iron fillings / shavings, that are sprinkled around the wire? and use of above probes?
---create some elabrate disc setup that is 8 pieces of a pizza in shape.  to maybe allow for better or i should bigger area to probe?
---larger diameter solid copper wire used in the main center of the magnets?
