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.

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.

I see that kind of lizard all the time.

awesome find Conito.... is that really a horned lizard? or was? Spooky looking 💀

I know it looks like a dead lizard. But it ran into the bushes.

My bad. It looked (still does) to me like it had no neck--just exposed spine. Must be an illusion. 🤦🏼‍♂️

I think it's an illusion to confuse predators.
