Primary Interest:
All Treasure Hunting
I found this at a home which was built in 1790. I went straight to a very very very large oak tree about 50 yards from the house and found it not far from the base. Any help with identifying it and maybe suggestions on a good way to clean it up would be greatly appreciated. Thanks and happy hunting. :icon_thumleft:

Have you tried a mild cleaning? Like a toothpick to start

I have added pictures of both sides after tooth picking it as suggested. It's a little under 3cm in diameter.

Looks like the diameter of a US Large Cent. Can you show a pic of the edge with maybe a modern penny as reference?
