Snake Bracelet

[s.c.shooter]

I found this today just before a thunderstorm ended my hunt. It appears to be made of copper. Looks like a snake head on each end.

That's pretty cool, and agree with A2 - looks old, and most likely is if it is made of copper. Congrats!

Can't tell from pics really but it kinda reminds me of a bracelet worn by slaves. I've seen one before but can't remember where or what was the design on the end. May be wrong but looks like it has that age to it

Allen-I think you are thinking of Manilla??:

maybe someone has some more info on the possibility of that because that would be a seriously incredible find.

Thanks for sharing and HH!

s.c.shooter, I like that. . . A LOT!

That bracelet looks too crudely made to be a modern piece. That being said, I think "DirtStalker" may be on to something.

Have you been finding any 17th or 18th century "trashy" items near where you found the bracelet? If so, you have a stellar spot to hunt

Great find. There were snake slave bracelets at Pompei, but they were spiraled around the arm and composed of precious metal.

Neat find.

Thanks for the input. I tried to research this online but couldn't find anything exactly like it.

If you rub it strongly in cloth, can see yellow color appear down the copper
If copper have some gold
