FIRST 1873 Liberty Seated Half Dime

[Conito@55]

Today I found this beautiful 1873 Liberty Seated Half Dime, I don't know what happened but my detector was very sensitive, and that helped me find a lot of things.

Congratulations! That half-dime is a beauty, complimented by a plethora of other fine looking relics! Love the horn toad, too!

Curious to know if the seated dime was found within the number of buttons! That is quite the haul.. must have been a fancy waist coat..? Well done! interesting array of finds there, congrats!

GREAT FINDS Question why scratch up your detector screen ? Not complaining but just wondering. After all it is your machine and not mine

It was. I didn't even notice that it was an "ex-lizard"!

Looks like a Texas Horned Lizard--one of the most challenging reptiles to care for; their diet consists of harvester ants, almost exclusively.
