Hi do you record your finds with UKDFD, it is worthwhile, Rod should be able to give you an ID

Don't know much about such coins but I found these : finds.org.uk artfund which suggest it's a light coinage penny, possibly Blunt 40.

You haven't shown the other side which might help ID further, but a nice find!
