Thanks, all for the replies, Chuck, know what you are saying, when we were growing up, we would dig holes one day, come back the next, and drop the pole in the hole, try to kill the snake in it, clean by mashing that fence post down hard, and SPLASH, end up with a face full of water! Jdemaris, This ground might qualify for the artesian pressure definition, we tiled a part of it back in the 70's, if you dug deeper than 4', the water would come up so fast that you risked not getting the backhoe out till the ground froze in the winter. If anybody knows how to do it (google earth), the land in question lies along the ridge between the south river drainage area, and the patuxent river drainage area, near the headwaters of What is known as Roper's branch, in AA county, MD, but as close as you can get to PG county, MD, without crossing the Patuxent. Based on what I see here, I plan to drill down, first with a 4" auger, as deep as it will go, then fill the hole with water, let soak to wet the ground below, then drill down with a 2-1/2" bit till I hit water. Then I will let it settle a while, then install a 2" well point and set it in bentonite, maybe put in a hand stroke pump with a foot valve, and see if I can pump it dry in an hour. If I can't pump it dry in that time, then maybe I 'll think about a solar pump, as there's no electric anywhere close. Thanks again for the replies.

Today's Featured Article - 12-Volt Conversions for 4-Cylinder Ford 2000 & 4000 Tractors - by Tommy Duvall. After two summers of having to park my old 1964 model 4000 gas 4 cyl. on a hill just in case the 6 volt system, for whatever reason, would not crank her, I decided to try the 12 volt conversion. After some research of convert or not, I decided to go ahead, the main reason being that this tractor was a working tractor, not a show tractor (yet). I did keep everything I replaced for the day I do want to restore her to showroom condition.
