Awesome discovery want feedback

So I was given permission to hunt on some property that is about 500 acres of semi thick woods. Looking up the history of the property there was a school in the middle of the woods that was burnt down by jay hawkers during the civil war. I couldn't seem to find any evidence or remains of any building or structure anywhere until I came across a well. I causiously detected around the well but only turned up square nails. So I decided to tie a rope to my AT and lowered it down the well (about 14 feet to bottom) it went off like the 4th of July. Now I am half crazy at times and have been known to throw caution to the wind if there is a chance of finding a rare artifact of sorts but this is unfamiliar territory. I can usually gauge the level of stupidity or risk of climbing in building or structures that are half rotten but the idea of the walls caving in on me at the bottom of a well is honestly the only thing keeping me from going in. Some treasures are just not worth the risk. Has anyone ever climed in to a well before? It "seems" solid and doesn't appear to have loose bricks or signs of caving in but you never know. Anyone have any experience in going in old wells? Here are the picks of the well.

This is the only way I would enter the well. I would have at least two partners and the ability to call for help. Maybe some company near you rents out the tripod system? Best of luck, who knows how many pennies were flipped into the "wishing well!" Sub

Any fines? Also you can tied a camara to a rope to check before going down

I would be getting to the bottom of it ...like, tomorrow. I would recommend making some sort of covering for the hole, so that any animals or unsuspecting humans don't tumble into it, especially if they are alone without a phone.Keep us posted.
