What do you use to store found notable coins in the field

I basically put my trash in one pocket and my coins in the other, silver , copper,or otherwise. I guess it's a good problem to have, but as my success rate increases so does the need for a better way to keep my silvers or coppers separate from the clad and somewhat protected until I can get home.

What do you guys use? I'm kind of a minimalist so I'm looking for something that would just slip in a pocket and be pretty low profile, something that would hold multiple coins but each separate from the others.

Thanks in advance

Lots of guys use a snuff tin or a suckers tin with a paper towel in it.
 

I do as you do. If the coins is that good, I take it to the van, and then resume the hunt.
 

Empty dental floss containers with a cotton ball or 2 inside.
 

Thanks all. The dip tin idea is intriguing. Here what I came up with

I'm damn lucky if I find one coin that's valuable enough to protect much less multiples. I just slip it into an empty pocket.

Yup, watch pocket of my jeans.

I have not found any valuable coins but I have found several CW buttons that I put inside of old prescription bottles that have cotton balls inside. Cotton keeps them from bouncing around and getting crushed.
 

Trash in pouch, clad and buttons and other keeper coins in a pill bottle. Silver into the pocket to keep from excessive scratching.
