[QUOTE="Redgully, post: 1630882, member: 33533"] Sounds like you have a water table there. Have you had the mining water tested for contamination? I guess if the livestock are doing ok it is a pretty good answer. What were they looking for there? Where i am in the hills, about 1200ft above see level, we have streams in the ground above the granite and fractures, or dykes, in the granite caused by dolorite pushing up millions of years ago. A friend asked me to divine a bore right next to an existing bore he wanted to re drill deeper. The existing bore was 60ft deep. I picked a spot about five meters away. It felt better on the wire than the existing bore. I only divine for fun, not sure why the wire moves or what causes it to move. So they drill down to 60ft and just dust, the bore 5 meters away was still pumping about 1500 litres an hour. They get to 140ft and still dust but hit granite. The existing bore was only drilled to 60ft as was drilled with a cable tool and the granite was at 60ft. Some strange stuff going on in the ground. So they drill into the granite and hit a huge fracture at 180ft and it was yielding 20,000 litres an hour. The whole time the existing bore was still pumping its 1500 litres. [/QUOTE]
