Get a bigger magnet, because the magnetic field will be larger.

Reason: magnetic field strength falls off with distance, so a stronger (larger) magnet produces a field that can reach and attract the metal from farther away. Turning the magnet or using the opposite pole won't increase the range, and a smaller magnet would make it worse.
