I'm no dirt expert, but I would imagine, while it's great that you have one place that seems to collect all the runoff on your property, simply because it constantly gets that runoff is not an indication if the soil is what you want to hold water year round. Still need a good soil sample. If this place has been collecting runoff for years, there is a good chance it is also collected a great deal of siltation, which I'm sure you can imagine, isn't good for "holding" water, as it just soaks it up.
EDIT - siltation, not sedimentation...
