Is it possible that coin was part of a detecting club's hunt and no one found it? Years ago I belonged to a club and I know some hunt targets were left in/on the ground.
I wouldn't worry how the coin made it's way onto the ground. The fact that you found it and saved it from sitting there for years, if not decades is a good thing.
Dang, now I have been jilted out of finding that Frank 30 years from now
Surface find or DEEEEEPPP find, it is still a find and a good one at that! Congrats.
