Yes, I had a similar situation a few years ago. I wasn't patient enough when digging it out though. It turned out to be an 1830 Bust Dime that was between two thick roots of an old maple tree. The signal sounded too good to just let it go and it took me about ten minutes to find the coin. I put a scratch in the reverse during recovery. 
Went to the hardware store the next day and got a few tools to use with tree roots in the future.

Go to flea market and get a serrated knife not made in China as they can be had quite cheaply and sharpen same as it helps..Do be careful
as killing a tree in your neighbors front yard by root cutting can pose a problem but out in the woods small roots carefully cut usually do little or no damge to a full grown tree with many roots..
Of coure a variety of tools will help but for inexpensive tool that is easy to carry try the above..

Found a 1899 Barber quarter once that the roots of a huge oak had actually grown around. I made the hole as big as I could and eventually, I could get two fingers on and I got it pried out. I remember my first year of detecting, I left two coins in roots and I never forgot that. I went back years later and they were gone. That will not happen again. Good luck and get that coin! R.L.
