Rocky,
Got a great laugh on that one because I've been there and done that...somewhere on Meadowlark ranch, sometime in the far distant future, someone will discover a totally buried auger out in the middle of nowhere on the ranch and wonder, "what in the world is that thing doing here in the ground?"
When the bit catches in clay and you aren't ready, there is no way to get it out without heroic measures...a new bit is cheaper.
Yep, $8000 is the going rate for pipe installation...natural spillways you have to have anyway and last forever.
Sincere congrats on your pond! I hope you and yours have many many years of enjoyment out of it.
