Does anyone know of a way to retrieve broken pipe in a driven well? I was replacing an existing well with new pipe and point and had a fitting crack about 15' down leaving 2 lengths of 5' pipe and new point down.
 
If you had a set of jars and a taper tap, you might get it out. If sand and gravel fall down on top of the jars while your working you could lose them too.

If it were mine, I would just move over with all new equipment and keep the joints butted and tight by turning the pipe with a big pipe wrench quite often.
