My group has always put a small ball of blue-tac under any dropped weapon or debris that gets puts on the map. It sure helps against the folks who tend to drag their arms on the map.

If you use magnetic white board (or just painted sheets of steel), then it might be better. If only because you're not hauling around a 4'x8' magnet.

Then, just put the magnet sheet on the counters with a bit of glue. Don't use roll magnet, they will never stay flat.

There's a bunch of sheet metal fabbers in the area, see if they have any cast-offs to play with. I think Krylon makes a good on-metal spray paint. And I don't think we actually need a grid. If you make the obstructions with the magnetic backing too, then the arena could be different each time.

And I might have some of the miniature neodymium magnets lying around (if I can find them after two moves)... it you wanted to drill your minis or glue them on the bottom.

We also use sticky-tack. Pair it up with counters stuck to cardboard with a glossy back and it works like a charm!
