Same way around here in places. seems like u get down a foot or so, then the clay is there. had to pour water in alot of holes and let it set to soften it up. Of course when you hit a limestone rock, it really smokess!! :!:ALACOWMAN":1hmbil9n said:its really nice when it dries up and hardens,, ive had smoke come from the auger tips...greybeard":1hmbil9n said:Someone already invented that.

When I set corners down by the river (it floods) I put them down 5' or more in the ground. My Dad got these somehwhere, and I've never seen another pair like them. Also used to set long telephone poles for the polebarn in the front of the property--they went down about 7', but that barn has stood at least 2 hurricanes and a tropical storm. Use these all day and you'll know it that night--wore out 2 sets of elbows and wrists with them.
I might be old but I can still go deep. :cowboy: :banana:
there was a long dry period when i built my hay barn... like to have never got the holes dug for it, 18 holes total... had to dig a little, and fill with water.. let soak over night. dig some more the next day same deal..cowboy43":2cxj4tcb said:Flint rocks and hard red clay and hand diggers don't go together, when the clay is dry you can not even soak it, the water will evaporate before it will soak in.
