Congratulations on your find. I'm sure it is a coin as in the first photo I can definitely make out the head outline of a figure, neck pointed to the right and face down. In the second photo not much.
As far as cleaning your coin, on this forum, first click on everything about finds, than to cleaning your finds. Lots of methoids and tips explained there.
I see your new to the hobby, welcome, good luck, and congratulations.

Very carefully with a toothpick and a good magnifier is the method I have most success with.
Do not over do it.

No size reference here(again). Try taking a better photo, with lighting from the side, and a known coin next to it. As it is, it looks like a clad quarter.
I'm sorry I didn't do a comparison I am new to the hobby please forgive me!!! The coin is the same size as the modern dime of today I believe it's a Roosevelt deffinetly has the torches on the back however still can't get it cleaned good an no date readable!!!! Any tips would be greatly appreciated!!!

If it's a Roosevelt dime, it is most certainly modern clad post 1964. Nice job finding your first! Dimes add up pretty quick. I tumble mine in a rock tumbler so the Coinstar will accept them without jamming.

You can Google "clean coin using aluminum foil baking soda." It is easy and not harmful being that your coin is logically not silver. Good luck.
