You should not dig that deep without safety bracing, Frank.  Be careful!




I know the hole is deeper than I can to go into.  I now have a stoop 3 feet 
under were I sit and work from.  I use a hand auger and bars to go deeper.  My 
max depth should be about 9 feet with these tools.

The hand auger does not work without first breaking up the ground with a long 
digging bar.  My dirt is hard.
I can then go deeper with a sand point pound in point.  I may be able to go 25 
feet.  I hope at least to it some water for a pitcher pump.

Thanks Jones.  So far I have hit no gas or no water.  It was fun when we were 
locked down but now were in the Green and I can do other things.

Your project reminds me of a video where a single guy with primitve tools does 
some serious landscaping and gets a nice pool out of the effort.

When I was a young kid people used to asked me where I lived.  I told them and 
a few said,  "Up there by the fan"  I thought "What fan there is no fan there."
During the lock down I began thinking about this stuff from long ago.  I 
checked the mine maps and no fan was to be found, however; the whole town was 
undermined.  The scope of this mining amazed me.  Johnstown was once a great 
industrial town.  Today it is nothing.  My place is near the blue dot I placed 
on the map.

I started digging in my yard, druing the COVIT lockdown, in the spot were the 
fan shaft would be.  The area was filled over in 1950 and the shaft cap would 
be 6 feet down.  I hit something flat 6 feet down and I know not what it is.  
Pehaps it is just a big flat rock.  I have approximately  3 sq feet of it 
uncovered now.

I tried to drill through it in hopes of finding methane.  I did not suceed.  I 
will have to dig more and my 67 year old body akes.  At least I lost 10 pounds. 
 My brother in law came by and said "There is no mine shaft on your property 
idiot."  The neighbors come up snooping.  I tell them nothing as they will call 
the cops if they think I am getting free natural gas.
Taking a break but I cant stop now.
