We going on trips to Harbor Freight. Last trip picked up a magnetic bowl, meant for nuts and bolts, works perfectly for pins. And a velcro wrist magnet, meant to hold screws and stuff while you are working on something, i use for pins when i am stitching and dont want to pay attention to where i put the pin down as I pull them. The bowl was 1.99 and the wrist thingy was 99 cents.
