The device you want is called a Hall effect sensor. I know that you can get
them from Mouser or Digikey- Radio Shack might also have them. They are
pretty cheap, if memory serves.

    Use the latching type of hall sensors cost about $0.99 each PT number HI400 and
    are available from ( Jameco. #169691).
    The latching ones have no bounce but do need a reverse polarity , that is a N
    and sth pole at each location.
    It's worth the effort to sue them as they much more relaible than reed switches
    and do not break.

    There are also non latching hall sensors and they only need one polarity this
    will be much
    easier to use for quick pulses they have a fairly high freq. response (how many
    times they
    can sense in given period)
