Sorry, nothing I typed showed up!!! LOL
The picture of my backhoe is next the the spring I asked about in another post. It's in the bottom of my lake. I found water coming out of the ground after digging down with the dozer.
I stoped digging with it and brought in the backhoe. I dug down four feet or more in the whole area you see as a small pond, and then maxed out my depth in the corner up front.
I have a maximum depth of 14 feet and a flat bottom depth of 12 feet. I maxed it out. I also hit some small gravel at the very bottom. There are veins of iron ore on my land, but otherwise it's all clay.
The water level filled up the deep hole overnight, then the rest rose about half a foot a day. Just as the rains started, it was about full.
Now it's overflowing at a steady rate, but nothing to brag about.
The other picture shows how I had to extend my drainage ditch to keep the water level down. Rain and the spring are givng me more water than I'm ready for.
