Found connecticut copper

[justtryingitout]

New member here and fairly new at metal detecting. after the hurricane I found a Connecticut copper. It is a 1787 coin. I just found it odd that a coin of that year would be in Florida(I think Florida was Spain's). Any body have any good ideas on how it would be on a beach in northern Florida Atlantic coast?

Congratualtions on the old copper!

I love finding the old coppers; in our soil they are much more toasty then yours.
