It depends on how far away they are. Magnetic (dipole) fields fall as the cube of distance. Since the earth's pole has a dipole moment (8.0 * 1022 Am^2) and is detectable ~30uT at the earth's radius, thousands of km from the core. Even a 1T field at a radius of 1m would be billion times smaller ~1nT a km away or 1/30k of the earth's field.
A giant 6T MRI would be comparable to earth's field at 27m.
