Pond had never been full at that time but was under construction. Pond had a bottom drain, but "quicksand" was below that level. Water seemed to come from a subsurface source, but not the aquifer (rather "springs"). I suspect an ancient creek bed or multiple beds that filled over time from surface water. I was working with a small dozer and a backhoe.
