Got this coin from a guy in the UK who metal detects and sells everything he found in the day for a flat fee. (Got a lot of really cool things) Can make out a faint 1746 on the bottom of one side and a few letters around the other when I hold it in the light. Should I clean it? What do you think it is? Any ideas?

You don't mention the diameter or weight of your coin which would be of assistance in trying to identify it. On the reverse and above the date there appears to be a very faint image of Britannia. As the coin was found in the UK it could possibly be a low value copper coin (a farthing, perhaps) of George II. This a complete guess on my part for, as you are aware, your coin is not in the best of conditions.
Take a look at this link:-

Juding by the condition (and the fact I can't make out anything, sadly), I'd clean it to make out more details. By cleaning I mean primarily "allowed" methods such as acetone, acids or other non-damaging chemical treatments.

Thank you Aiglet7 you are completely right just did some research and it is a 1746 George II farthing . X2an I'll leave as is since I have already identified.
