CTX sniffs out beautiful Sterling Silver Match Stick Case

[treblehunter]

I was over in Delaware today, had some business to take care of, so I knocked on a door and asked for permission. The owner said ok after he interrogated me as to "what exactly are you looking for?" I told him old relics and old advertising tokens. He said, "ok but outside the fence" which meant the front and side yards.
This rang 13-46 at 6 inches, down eight inches I found it. I believe it is a match stick case, I looked hard for the other half/lid. It came out looking like silver, couple hours later I had myself convinced it was aluminum. I looked and looked for a silver mark and could not find one. So I broke out the baking soda and a few minutes later I seen the sterling mark.

Too late I already ratted you out to Vino! He said you're NEVER invited again on a hunt lol. And he's sending a limo to Maine to bring me down to hunt ALL of his sites

I haven't heard from vino since my last trip down there, in all seriousness I thought he was pissed at us rednecks for some reason

Just you. He told me all about it. You rednecks should be ashamed of your selfs for acting like that. Very very disappointing indeed

"Beautiful sterling match safe!
If you look on the bottom of the case there should be a "wash-board" pattern used for striking the matches.

About two years ago I found the bottom portion of one and spent about an hour looking for the missing top portion. . . no luck. Then, about two years later my friend & I were hunting the same park and he found the missing top and gave it to me as a gift. . . how nice was that!

Sounds like you got the bug bad.

Are you married? I've Found Such Frequent Hunting can cause Marital Issues.

Very nice Match Case.

Your very personal, Olddude is right, I'm married to my AT Pro, but we are on a break!

So gorgeous!

My brother told me this morning him and his wife think it is my best find. I of course like my 1798 Draped Bust and 1922 Peace Dollar as my favorites.
