My soils are sand/sandy loam/a bit of clay/and more sand, so drilling is easy.
When I lived in So. Cal. I talked to a well driller that said he had to go thru 100's of feet of rock to drill a well. Back in the late 1980's they were charging $20/foot. That could run into some serious money quickly. One well that I know of was over 500' down.
Yikes! I don't have pockets that deep! I've researched my state's drilling data & it would appear that most of the wells already drilled in my area are around 60'- 80' deep but the GPM varies considerably. Turns out, the driller I'm trying to work with is the lone dog in my neck of the woods. That would explain his lack of interest in new business.......
