Need help on a copper coin ID

[NEPA History]

Today I was out for two hours and stumbled on a great find, although I'm not sure exactly what I found..lol. I'm pretty sure it's a colonial copper coin, but one side is completely toasted. The "heads" side doesn't have much left, but possibly enough for someone to identify?
If anyone has any idea, please let me know. Thanks for any help you can provide! GL and HH out there!

From what I can tell so far, I'm thinking french as well now. I'll try to get more information. It's about the size of a us Large Cent.

If it is about the size of a U.S. Large Cent, then it might be a French 5 Centimes minted from 1796 to 1800 which measure 28mm in diameter.
