13 native made silver necklaces...and counting.
3 14k chains
handful of charms for bracelets... .925, one 10k.
3 sets of stud earrings, diamonds.
four or five sets of old time button studs.
two jewelry vice.
two pocket knives.
three pocket watch like compacts.

Just get a pair of dikes! No not that kind :o, the ones that cut wire and go after the AVON K-RAP
 

;D

too late dan...done deal...three or four hours of snip snip snip....i am still working on untangling some silver chain...but i at least have the avon stuff out of the way...

next step is removing glass beads from the chains...whew...might just wait on that till i am not seeing wiggling chains when i close my eyes...
 

thanks..i wondered why it was such a familiar sight... :icon_jokercolor:

i lived in bisbee in the early 80's...left when the califonicators started buying up the place.
