I'm a drilling consultant that specializes in that rig they were using, a Foremost DR24. They sent out a quality driller, with the best overburden drilling rig on the market, and constructed the well using heavy wall casing. I'd say you chose a very good drilling contractor and it was money well spent.

Making a well is expencive because of the machinery. Truck and drill are very expencive equipment to own 🙃

The cash register sound is very appropriate for well drilling ! $$$$

That was the best description of a well drilling ever. Great job and congratulations. Here in the S Appalachians we hit full Artesian high flow with 25lbs pressure at the well head at 300 feet. First 10 years we ran the entire homestead without a pump. Then just about the time a new neighbor hit high flow Artesian a half mile away we dropped to about 15 lbs so we assumed the inevitable finally happened and we purchasd a booster pump. Well we were in for a surprise as the water ran foul for a couple three days and voila our natural pressure came back in spades and better than ever. It apparently just needed a good flushing which the booster did apparently. I ended up putting the booster on the bladder tank pressure switch (which I had installed but never needed) and we run at 40 to 60lbs pressure now. Sorry about the long saga but I find it very interesting to go through all that and come out better off for it👍😎👌

Most well drillers can tell you how deep your neighbors wells are, we wanted to drill a well to water the yard as city water by us is 6 dollars for 1000 gallons . The local driller knows how deep the wells are in his area. He told us that 800 feet in our area was most likly. Add that 1/4 mile away they were mostly around two hundred feet . Just goes to show how much the land can change. He had maps for the area, he was honest up front.

That "pudding" as you call it, you can put it in a jar and use it as a polishing compound for steel and other metals. If it drys up you can just stir in water.

Holy moly!!! the farm my family has had since before the land run in oklahoma is basically sitting on one of the largest aquifers in the country... we have never had a problem getting water... you can walk out and say this looks like a great place for a well, start digging and have water... we have an old windmill that was used before the electric pump was put in for the well.... that windmill powered a pump that put water into the cattle tank... I can’t imagine having to dig 600 feet to find water!

Great Vid, when we had our well done here in the desert the company drilled 650ft deep, cost with pump was about 35k.

When the headline says you won't believe what we found.....I come straight to the comments.

The cash register sound is perfectly appropriate when it comes to the cost of the well.

You have Amazing Patients and Attitude. Wow, I pray that your well provides you and your wife what you need for as long as you need it. God Bless you both.

I know the feeling watching one pipe after the other going down. My well is 500 feet, but when I see your soil condition, I'm happy with my solid rock, even the well don't produce much water.

So sorry to see the extra cost for the well. You did a great job of showing all that is involved in drilling a well, and how there are no guarantees. Here's hoping there aren't too many more surprises.

I missed it somewhere. How much did this well end up costing. I’m impressed they were able to find that narrow band of sand to pull water from. Very skillful. Where I live in Massachusetts we are very lucky. House well. 80 feet. 17gpm. Shop well. 120 feet. Over 10 gpm. Pretty much 30 feet of overburden to granite. Then they get down to the water level and hydraulically fracture the stone. And up comes the water.

Boy, was looking bleak there for a bit. So thankful you were able to go with that second option and that it worked to give you guys water! I loved the timelapse and cash register sounds of each section of pipe going down. That was a really fun way of showing it!

I feel your pain. My well failed because the cowboys who did it didn't put a seal between the regolith/soil layer and the bedrock, so silt leaked in and filled the well. Got a driller in and they sank a new shaft about 12m away from original and got down to about 120m and it was dry. Had to get an excavator in to carve out a bank to get the rig around to the other side of the house and at about 100m they hit great water in large quantities. 16 years later and all's well...

Our well is 25 foot deep and was hand dug and lined with limestone. It hasn't been dry for 35 years and it went dry because I was watering the garden. It had water in the 1930's when other wells went dry.

FYI: that glacial silt is loaded with minerals. Use it in your garden, mix it with compost, sprinkle around veg, don;t use it on your face, will sting eyes, and hard to get out.

Water actually seeped out of the top of the well year round. 200 yards further up her dad dug his well to 85' with a little over 20 gals/min. !/2 mile further up the road we had our well dug. 360' with 5 gals/min. I feel your pain. At that time in Vermont well over 50% of homes were supplied with spring water that was captured in cisterns in the basements or pump houses.

It ended up at 5 gpm the next day, but that was good enough and not worth going deeper for more. There's a law that prevents going back to 38 feet once you dig any deeper.

Some friends of ours down in Harrison on lake CDA stopped at 500ft because the average well depth in the area is around 320ft. They decided to bury a few of the tanks and haul water in. They are playing with the idea of using the dry well as a geothermal system.

My well up here on the mountain is 500', with the pump located at 480'. It's a slow well at 1qt per minute, but with a static line of 112' we've never had a water issue yet, even when we went through almost a month drought.. Good luck, I hope it works out.

that glacial till is EXCELLENT polishing compound ... it may not be finished quality BUT it is definitely a fine ....

As a sideline bottle a lot of that and sell it as a valve grinding compound and make enough to pay for CV the drilling !!!

I’ve had a few Wells drilled on different property’s, the deepest 450’ the shallowest 56’ it’s not cheap but what can you do with no water.

Last well I installed a pump on was just around 420 feet, and we’re on ancient glacial lakebed over ancient ocean bed. They’re not allowed to go much deeper, as that puts them into oil and gas territory. That well produced, but more often than not, the holes don’t produce, so most people install cisterns and truck water in. Myself included.

Chickens have it tad too cold. They lay better if it is warm. Quails can handle some cold. Tin roof without heat isolation - cold in the winter, too hot in the summer if it is on the sunny side. My guestimation is that the winters ahead won't be as warm as they have been lately.

I'm a UK geologist - now retired. There have been multiple glaciations over the last 2 million years (maybe ~50 of them in the UK). The wood you found will have formed in one of the interglacial (warmer) periods and then buried when the next glacial period came along. The advancing cold probably killed off the trees, then buried them under snow and then ice, and the glaciers rolled over the top of the trees and buried the timber under a layer of clay, sand and rock flour ground off the rocks higher up. That mass of clayey ground is called till - forming under a glacier it's a lodgement till. That's what you have there, lodgement tills. If you found a gravel body in the till (formerly a stream, now buried) it's not necessarily connected to water - it may have some in when you hit it, but you could pump it dry if it's not very big.

That’s not the best outcome for Martin, I’m afraid. Perhaps all is not lost if it fails to sustain water, the hole could be drained and adapted to produce geothermal heat source?

I feel your pain. We are also located in a glacial valley and had a similar issue with ultra fine silt. After years of dealing with plugged whole house filters we finally implemented a system that cleared our water - a automated yard watering system. Since we have installed the irrigation system, our water has cleared significantly. We measure our sucsses by the lower frequency of toilet cleanings. Best of luck to you and wishing your bank account feels better soon, ouch that was a deep hit.

It always interested me digging seeing dirt, hit clay then get to sand. It's interesting area was either glacier passage or part of the ocean.

This is when my drillers head would spin and say we're coming out at 3 o'clock in the morning

Holy cow! We live in Oregon. Our well is 65 feet. I didn’t realize how lucky we were. Great video

When I had my well dug on my first piece they used a Dowser, he was right from central-casting, white hair, white beard suspenders overalls probably a straw hat and a piece of straw between his teeth, dowsed three times for three dry wells! Back then they didn’t charge for the dry wells but they said to come back a 4th time they have to start charging me so I told them this time don’t bring the dowser and I’d point out a spot that looks logical because of the lay of the land, we hit 45 gallons a minute at 160 feet.
