Got super lucky for getting one year older this year-Les went straight to the Wizard for these deep finds. Navajo bracelets-both dating between 1890-1910 hand forged ingot coin silver-the first one being either a leaf or snake design...I've seen this motif on early pieces sometimes surrounded by a paisley type border-I like the subtle rounded quality of the form having been punched out from the back. Second one is a solid pulled ingot wire with either chiseled or filed lines and punched o's with repeated punched design at the terminals-it's heavy-you can see where the silver has been folded on the interior.
