After some earlier advice from daddydigger I tumbled a large cent That was pretty toasted and got some detail but to me it looks like a bust facing right? ( drape bust?) the one cent and wreath came out much better, i even think i see the 1 under the bow? just curious what others think?
Anyone else see that?

Without question it is a Draped Bust Large Cent! (1796-1807) A coin that is still on my bucket list. Very cool!

Great result! If it were me I would tumble it some more but in 10-minute increments and only till I could make out the last digit of the date. That's what I did with my 1805 DB I found in Connecticut. I quit tumbling once I could see the 5.
