The bad thing is....my detector showed it as iron, picked up a real low 1,2 on it. I thought it was another horseshoe nail!!

Congrats, That is a super find. I'm waiting for the day that I find my first gold coin. I would go back again and search it real hard if you can. Great job.

The good thing is that you dug it! I often wonder how many gold coins I've left in the ground because I didn't like the signal. What a great find!

Great coin! How big of an orchard is it? There is one down the road from me that only has about 20 trees or so; I never thought to detect there.
Guess you will just have to dig EVERYTHING now.

Wildcatman,
Congrat's on a beautiful coin and the find of a lifetime. Can't wait to see what else you dig up in that orchard (I'm now frantically trying to remember the places I've seen old orchards!).
I can't say I'm thrilled to hear that it rang up in the iron range.....sheesh, it's bad enough I've gotta dig every foil/pulltab signal.....now iron, too!!!
!! 
If you nicked it, who cares? I'll take a nicked gold piece over a perfect horseshoe nail any day.
