Today i found this old coin. I'm sure that i've checked the area before but here is another.
First i had a ferrous sound but from a different angle i had also a 75.
First came out a rusty nail and after that the coin.
Can anyone help me identify it?
Thanks.

Let it dry and then gently scrape it with a toothpick to show more detail.

Hey Buddy!

I have no idea what it is, but it sure does look old! You are a very lucky man, to have such nice places to dig.

Best of luck to you!

Looks like a late 16th/early 17th century coin called a parpagliola. Never heard of them before but most I can find online seem to have been struck in Milan though there seem to have been cruder copies struck elsewhere including mantua.
Here's an example: https://www.numisbids.com/n.php?p=lot&sid=708&lot=1172
If you google image parpagliola there's quite few similar to yours

Thanks to JamieD i found the info about this nice coin. On the first side there is the kingdom shield with the eagles and the legend: Medio Lani.D
On the otherside is the statue of providence and the legend Provi Dentia. Filippo III around 1630.
This is a better one
