Coin Maybe?

Hello all thanks for looking.  I dug this up today not to much detail left. But I thought there might be enough to identify what it is.  Thanks for any help.

definately appears to be a coin, but you'll have to soak it and clean it up for an i.d.

It sorta looks like a Lincoln in the first pic.

Have you done a size comparison?

It's definitely a coin, you can see part of an "E" in the second one...

Thanks Guys any sugestions on what to soak it in.

Johnnyi is right, it will need to be cleaned up but from what I can see (or imagine I am seeing) it looks like a capped bust dime or half dime.  I don't know enough about early coins sizes to guess for sure.

[olive oil]

Soak it in olive oil for a few weeks. 

soak a paper towel in olive oil and then wrap it in that for a week, and check it out.

edit: whoops, oroblanco beateded me to it. :-)

Agree.  Capped bust dime or half dime.  I can see the E and the verticle stripes on the shield.
