1787 Nova Eborac!!

Finally got out with the equinox, been raining here everyday. So in between the rain I hit a friend's house. The property had a school on it in the mid 1800's, long gone now. Penny, penny, penny, getting frustrated then BAM a 1935 walker. Next hole, a merc, more Wheaties, another silver dime this time a Rosie. About to call it a day when I come up with a coin I can't identify...got it home and it appears to be a right facing Nova Eborac, minted only in 1787 in New York. I have found king George's, barbers, large cents, but nothing like this. My mine is still reeling. Tell me this is real please cause this may be the coolest thing I've ever found.

Congrats on some great finds.
 

That… is an AWESOM rare coin!!! Congratulations!!! Where did it ring on the Nox?!?
 

The vdi was low 30's but it kept changing, probably how it was laying. About 7 inches down. Probably should have included that info, but I was so excited writing the post, all I could think was wow, I found a New York Copper, I didn't even know they existed. Was actually not a super clear tone either, in some pine roots around 7 or 8 inches. Field mode 2 , no adjustments just noise cancel and GB.
