I need to have soil bearing verification testing done for a house addition and a detached garage so I figured I'd put a well screen down one of the holes. I use a 2" PVC screen and placed it at 18' below the current grade.

The results of the split spoon samples are as follows:

The material that came out of that boring was very loose to firm brown, gray and tan sand to depths of 11 to 13 feet then dense orange sand to sand to 17', and finally loose gray fine sand with high shell content to termination of boring depth of 20'. Groundwater was at 5.3'
