      I would never attempt to clean it. If that is an intact pottery it should be cleaned professionally.

        Is it stone, pottery or metallic?
        After all you posted it in the metal detecting thread.

        At 5 pounds I doubt it to be pottery unless it is solid.
        It may be a conglomerate stone that has a suggestive shape.
        It looks almost like a Lotus position Buddha, with a Fedora hat.
        Cleaning could be done with a soft clean tooth brush.

        It is a "Rock" when it's on the ground.
        It is a "Specimen" when picked up and taken home.

          We will need a little more information before we can advise you on cleaning.
          Is it magnetic?

            Metal. Not sure what kind first time hunting didn’t look when detector went off. Found it at an old house place on my family’s land.

                  I would say that your first item is likely a rusty iron object. try tapping it with a hammer to knock some of the crust off.
                  the second item looks like it may be a lead toilet flange/seal.
