He embeds a steel flat washer just below the top surface of the load, and then it is easily removed by a magnet.
That's precisely what I've had in mind for my hoppers. If you have a bunch of different sized hoppers (who doesn't..??) just scribble the car # on the underside so it goes back where it belongs.
