Manual Labor

so a house guest (thinking he was helping out) thought it would be a good idea to put some what he thought were cooled-off ashes from a live fire into a receptacle next to the fireplace. But of course, ashes in a live fire should never be placed into a paper bag. The result was some scorched floor, which I've been trying to repair myself. So, I sanded it down, stained it, and it really doesn't look all that different. The scorch mark is much smaller, but it's not gone completely.

I'm afraid to sand too far, because the floorboards are original (about 175 years old) and I don't want to sand a hole in the thing. Any suggestions from you home-improvement types out there?
