New to me house with 3 acre pasture in front...found a deep, deep skinny hole! Ideas?

Find your property on Google Earth. There is a feature on Google Earth where you can look back in time at satellite views. Most views go back about 30 years or so. You may see something back in time that will give you a clue as to what is, or was, there.

I feel that you have come to the right place to ask your question. Please read the entire "Pallets in Fields" thread to get an idea of how much support this community can provide when facing such a mystery.

For 'safety' I'd assemble two pallets, in an inverted 'V', over the hole location.

(pictures to confirm would be nice :thumbsup

So far all we know it is circular hole in the ground with at least four feet of water in it. To get a better idea there needs to be a little excavation on site to further see what is there.

In any case it should be covered and flagged. Maybe even fenced.

My guess is it's the Chinese spying on you

Hi all...thanks for all of the input. The water receded significantly and I stuck a longer handled tool down there and (think??!) I found the bottom. The area is a low spot at the bottom of the the hill and I suppose moisture builds up there and the soil washed out there...strange that it is a nice round hole though! Area is now marked and protected.

I am guessing it is a broken field tile causing it to wash

Maybe we should start a poll?

1. Abandoned well
2. Broken field tile... drain septic related
3. Natural Spring
4. Sink Hole
5. Other (Foriegn Invasion, ie. Mexican Drug Tunnel, Chinese Spy Portal)

I see a fence in the video. Maybe some one relocated the fence line.
