Drilling a Well with an Hand Auger

"Hand augers are useful for advancing holes to shallow depths, but normally limited to less than 20 feet. A bucket-type hand auger provides samples useful for logging and interpretation. Motorized hand augers (post-hole augers) are available but are also depth-limited."[1]
