I dug an existing spring out 8 feet below water line put sand point in a little and back filled with broken shale.... Hope it works

should work fine

should work fine

So I checked the standpoint the next morning with a nut tied to a string and lower it down.... Dry? So I pulled it out and dug a 12 foot deep hole......

This is what I found the next morning....

Now how to turn in to a well? Lol

 

[Sourdough]

When I pulled the well point and dug it back up it was like I plugged up the spring..... Boy was water pouring out of the rocks at the water line. It was really cool looking.

You got water!, maybe dig in a section of concrete well casing. It could create a reservoir to hold dirt and rock out. A concrete lid closes it, plumb a well pipe to above grade and backfill. How deep are you? Concrete well case can be set all the way to surface. Had a shallow well in Montana that was like this. I think the concrete casing was 2' in diameter. You could use a 55 gal drum for underground res.

Can you explain further? Does the drum have holes in for water to enter? I had been thinking of a drum with holes in it, with the standpoint down in it to suck water out..... But I have no experience with this.

I've never set up a spring myself, but if you dug it out deep enough for drum and placed it opened end down wouldn't this create res to pump from? You could test it before back filling. I would try without holes, thinking they would allow silt and mud in.

I was figuring of surrounding it with a couple yards of gravel. To help filter it. I could fit a couple barrels abreast. And high. I think first is to figure the best way to empty a 5ftx5ftx12 ft deep hole thats full of water... Lol thanks for the brain power.
