Before they dug our well, I dowsed a really “hot” spot out by fence beside the lane.

They said no, we don’t want to dig there.
It’s not a good spot.

They went down almost 400 feet at the spot they dug.

Cost a damn fortune.

About two months later, the guy a hundred yards across the road dug in a straight line from the spot I picked.

He hit an Artesian well and the water geysered for a week before they were able to cap it off.

He has the cheapest well anyone ever heard of.

His water is crystal clear while ours is muddy, due to digging so far unto the bedrock, into a half ass underground spring.

Nobody listens to me.

Only good thing was my dad paid for the digging, not me.

Artesian wells are the best...We had one at the cottage, coldest water and crystal clean. My dad rigged up a way to keep his beer cold at the base of the well...it had somehow been rigged up to a stack and the water would overflow and flow down to the lake. The well was on higher ground. The well was on the property when he bought the place, but he could always figure out how to keep beer and pop cold.
