Looks like copper and most probably a large cent.

Yes someone posted it looked like a British half penny from the mid 1700's and it looks like there right... It was the first old coin I found and got me excited but still wish it was a U.S. Coin

I'd start with some soapy water and a soft bristled toothbrush after it's been soaking for a day or so.
