Along with the sand bag and pitch suggestions I would add that a shot
bag might be better. The shot bag is a leather bag filled with lead
shot. The bag is made of three pieces. Two discs and a strip of
leather. The discs are sewn to the strip to make a round bag with
straight sides. But what may work better is to cut letters out of
sheet that is as thick as the depression is deep. The letters should
have the edges radiused on one side. Then, press the letters into the
back side of the sheetmetal while supporting the the other side with
polyurethane. See http://www.bonnydoonengineering.com/ for an
explanation of this process.

Do you have any local hobby groups that could help you with light
metal casting? Is quite easy to do with just the heat available
from a stove or barbeque. Can be done into sand or lost wax style
mold.
