Snuck up on some Indians

[Deep Down]

Hit a 1870's house yard yesterday that gave up 5 Indians,a 41 merc, 63 rosie and 15 wheats. TID'S and tones just what they should be on the dimes and wheats. Two of the Indians came in and rang out classic 12-36's text book for my area. The other three were scratchy tones at best and they #'s were 1-29 to 4-32 two ways.All five were 5 to 8 inch's deep and only 1 was on edge and it was a 12-36.If I "Listened to the tone" I would have passed on all three but have have read about these #'s turning up goodies before. any thoughts on this as I now have to go back to a bunch of yards as I have passed on a ton of these in the past. Was in ttf and found nothing in the holes other that the coins.
