how you jet a well,get the biggest pump you can find.cut your well pipe into say 5' piecesand thread for couplings( not really neccesary but you can work from ground instead of a scafollding).build a tri pod,a frame ,heavy tree limb,whatever you can use to lift pipe up and down.hook water to top of pipe and start pumping(youll need lots of water) and simply work pipe up and down.it helps to turn it sometimes.if it gets tight somewhere pull it back up and work through tight spots until it loosens up.HOWEVER!!!if you have gravelthat close to surface you would probably be better off driving one,how deep is reliable water normally do you think?gravel makes it harder however you try to go because it will collapse on you.I have seen back a lot of years ago,a man use a feed auger to put one in in loose gravel with a piece of single wall vent pipe as casing.he simply took a five foot piece of vent pipe,cut auger off in sections to fit it a bout a ft longer with a motor to turn auger.slid vent pipe over auger and started turning,lowered it very slowly as vent pipe worked itself into hole of its own weight.as he got to top of vent pipe he added another piece and welded on another piece of auger.he was in very small gravel and he went good and slow but it worked!he kept pipe full of water to help with digging and if it tried to bind he would pull auger and empty rocks to help take load off.dont recall how deep he went but it wasnt far.
