Even in low grades an 1856 is valuable. I can't see a 6, but if you are sure then the only thing you can do is have it authenticated by a professional grader.

1856's are worth tons of money....

These eyes see the top and the slant of a seven as the last digit; more clearly seen in your red circle image.

I see the same thing, and just outside the circle to the right is the corner of the 7. After you see it in that picture, it is easier to make out in the picture next to it. Also, research on the '56 indicates that the likelihood of finding one in the dirt or in that condition is not likely. At all.
