Sorry, can't tell. Just curious, what the cop said.

Possibly 1937. Looks more like '97, but that's impossible. went back and looked again, now looks like '57.

I wouldn't clean it.
It has it's own unique character right now.

Three police cars and 4 officers rolled up on me and first thing they said was they were sorry for having to stop me from doing my hobby and we’re interested in what I had found but that a neighbor whose house borders the new construction site had called and complained about me being there since it was a Saturday and had only gotten a verbal approval during the week had no way of proving I was permitted to be there but working on written permission from the builder I guess some people have a problem with grown men playing in the dirt
