Has anyone every gotten anything even remotely valuable at one of these? Ive done my share of exploring, and find them to be pretty worthless. Yesterday I made 6k isk from one, 5 800isk salvage items from one can, other empty. Another site netted me 600k, with 5 out of 6 empty cans. I know most of never even botherted to train archeology due to this, but now I have. Lo sec ones are a bit better, and 00 ones even more so I gather, but hi sec mags? Bleh.

My experience is the same, two days ago I stumbled on one and since it was the only site in the system, I thought I'd give it a go.
After getting my main (logout,login), getting can with bookmarks (logout,login,logout,login) I went to site, somebody already beat me to it.
Welcome to Apocrypha, where even the lousy sites are at a premium.
The newer explorers looking for WH's are inevitably making high-sec exploring even less profitable as there are less and less sites to go around. CCP said they were going to increase the incidence of sites spawning. My guess is players now exploring has increased 10-fold, with new sites spawning what, maybe 20% more?
Do the math, as all this is driving veteran explorers to low and null-sec, if they weren't there already.

I'm one of those new explorers. I have only found 1, it was in 0.4 space. I got about 140 salvage items out of 4 cans, maybe 5M isk worth. One note on getting a different ship, I didn't. I ran it in my covops vs 3-4 cruisers. I wasn't armed. If there had been frigates, I probably would have had to flee, but I was able to lure the rats far enough away from the remaining cans to finish them.
I'd like to see what a WH mag site has, but I expect to need a much better fighting/tanking strategy.

Brilliant! Would have never thought of doing that. Hope your success continues....

Do the math, as all this is driving veteran and newer explorers to low and null-sec, if they weren't there already.
Edit: and newer
Im just wonder if they ever dropped anything valuable. Ill probably just not waste the time on them anymore.

I regularly get T2 salvage and rarely a faction POS mod BPC in low sec mag sites.

can you use core scanner probes to find these sites? or deep space?

Highsec mag sites have typically been the bottom of the barrel when it comes to loot. The most I've made at one was about 6mil, but if you really really want to go after a mag site you'd be looking at low or nullsec, and apparently the jump in difficulty from highsec to lowsec is pretty severe.
