i was walking around a old homesite i found buckles and stuff like that!!! i saw like 5 road sign's... i was like what's that?? i moved them off... and a big/huggest well i ever saw!!! it was like 30 ft down!!!! Later i found out it was a colonial community well??? The town had planned to digg it out. like 50 years ago... but they ran out of money..... and theres a huge rock wedged in the middle of the well....... and it had 2 iron bars on top of the well...... it is actually very stable...... and the rock is weged good in. and it is very passable..... it was trying to be dug out because it was a wishing welll..... and might be a chache..... it's on town property and a hisorical site... but it's in the middle of the woods. and i will bring 3 people with me... is it worth it??? and any ideas how to exvacate it??

I am going to test the air by lighting a peice of paper like a torch and throwing it down if it blows up i will know it's methane... then i will blow the air out.... and i dont think methane is a problem becuse there minimal leaf build up.... becuse the road sighns are blocking any leaves from falling in for 10 yrs.......... and the rock will never come out... it's wedged in the well........ thats how the last exvacation was halted. hey tried to get the rock from the bottom of the well out of the well. but it got stuck in the middle/top... but possible to pass it.. i will have to buy a fire escape ladder first.... there's 2 steel bars already..... and very stable.... the walls of the well is bvery stable and perfectly stable. the exvacation will start with in 2 weeks. i am starting with peperation and trying to plan this the safest way possible.......


That rock probably keeps people from falling down a very deep hole. I would probably leave it alone too. We might be watching your story on DATELINE otherwise.
