I understand what you're saying. This pond is 30 yrs old and used to hold water fine. Had a big dry spell few years ago so previous owner had it dug out... too deep. Now it leaks but I didn't know that when I bought the place. I think it's a spring because the muck is sitting on top of clay that feels more rocky and shale like. The rest of the pond is solid clay. I need to remove the muck so I can find the area of rock that needs covered. In the rock there must be water or a spring seeping thru. Just not sure if this is a money pit in waiting happen or if I have a real chance of sealing this pond back up.
