MONOGRAMMED STERLING MATCHBOOK COVER
On Sunday I hit an old park out in Brooklyn. One of my first signals had me thinking "Big Silver." Dug down about 7 inches and was still getting a signal that had the Garrett Carrot screaming. Another two inches and out comes a Monogrammed Matchbook Cover. I determined that it was made of aluminum after cleaning it at home. Any help with the initials would be appreciated.
I managed a 1946 Silver Roosevelt Dime as well as a toasted Buffalo and 7 deep wheat pennies. Three of them were pretty old, (13, 18, & 23).
There is a Brass Button or tack that has a #1 on it. Six hours and a pretty productive hunt.
UPDATE: After originally posting the matchbook cover as aluminum, I re-examined it 3 or 4 more times and found the Sterling stamp along the reverse top rim. Thanks guys on insisting that it looked silver.
