well detecting

[double barrel]

looking for some info.i need a lawyer who does agreements for treasures.there's a guy who has a well that he's going to fill in and i need to find a detector that can be lowered down the well and can detect say 10 feet or so deep.and how to build an electromagnet to pull up a strongbox.

How deep is the well?

 

[double barrel]

unknown.over 35 feet so far.

Is it dry or is there water in it? I would get s well diver to go down for you and check it out. I know there is someone who used to post frequently in this forum and he did well searches. If its dry,I would go down myself.

here's the fun part!!!it is almost 4 ft. in diameter but capped with a concrete slab. the difficult thing is after they hooked on to city water about 40 years ago they wouldn't spend the money on a septic tank, so they ran the sewage into the well. when it rains the well overflows, we just put a new sewer line in, so what i'm thinking is pray for lots of rain and let it wash the top layer of crap out, literally. i'm gonna take a 100 ft. rope out tomorrow and check the depth.

If there is a strongbox in there, a quick way to check would be to go "magnet fishing". It would be a quick way to check for metal. Find a magnet with a good lift (approx. 50 or so pounds) tie it to a rope and drop it in. It would be better than send someone down to check. If the rope breaks with the magnet, you really did not lose anything. I would try that first. Hope it helps.

Where are you located? Maybe someone close by with an underwater fish cam can help you see whats on bottom. I have an aqua vu cam with 100 foot of cable. It might save you a trip down to the bottom of a well. Swizzle
