Nice mini-sonic.

What's your effective depth on that thing? And does it slow near the bottom of the hole?

What sort of ground were you digging?
 How long did it take to drill to TD? 
I notice you inserted the tremie line after, what are the benefits of doing that vs. inserting at the same time as the pipe?

We have drilled to 200' before.  How slow it gets depends on what you are drilling through.

Gravel and clay.

45 minutes.

Easier to do them separate.
