Was searching a private residence about 3 miles from my home and down at 11 inches was a 1786 US Colonies Draped Bust Copper Penny!! I'm still in total disbelief!!!!

Very nice Connecticut copper. They usually don't come out of the ground this nice. FYI, it's not a draped bust, but what is known as a Mailed Bust Facing Left. If you could get me a clearer picture of the area circled I might be able to attribute the variety for you. I can't quite tell from your photo if there is an ornament after the colon.
 
Nice find ,
 
Very nice coin, nice detail.
 
Wow, nice looking copper, thanks for sharing!
 
Wow! Nice score!
