In the 1960's, we shovel-dug a well, that a "water witch" said the earth would be dry at 15 feet.... damp at 15.5 feet... at 16 feet, water would start filling & we would never get to 17 feet, because of in-pouring water.
We began digging. At ten feet the soil was dry & firm. At 15 feet, the soil was dry & firm. At 15.5 feet the soil was.....damp. At 16 feet, a small stream of water came into the dig. We never got to 17 feet, because the water was coming into the well too quickly & we got out of the well.
