You ought to see the magnets we have here at Fermilab. And I'm not even talking about the 20+ foot long ones which are electrically powered. Our vacuum pumps have a magnet that's about 6 inches by 8 inches by 1/2 inch thick (very rough guess). Broken off pieces of those used to be found on all sorts of bulletin boards around here. It requires real effort to pull them away.
