So 60 Hz magnetic fields penetrate shielded coax?

Cecil, if ever I had the feeling that I was about to answer a loaded
question, this is it, but here goes anyway - "Yes, I believe a 60 Hz
magnetic field impinging on a piece of shielded coax would penetrate
the shield of that coax significantly if the shield were made of a
non-ferrous conductor."

It's not a loaded question. I just always assumed that coax
would shield the system from 60 Hz noise and I guess I was
wrong.
