Wash boring 

is probably the most common methodused commercially to make deep


test holes in all soildeposits except rock or other large obstructions. The testhole is
made by a chopping bit fastened to a wash pipeinside a 2-, 4-, or 6-inch (diameter)
steel casing. Thewash pipe is churned up and down, while the bit, fromwhich water
flows under pressure, loosens the soil. Thewater then carries the soil particles to the
surface wherethey collect inside the casing. An experienced operatorcan detect from
the appearance of the wash water whena  change  in  the  type  of  soil  being
penetrated  hasoccurred. Wash samples are samples taken directly fromthe
wastewater.  They  are  so  disturbed,  however,  thattheir value is limited. This
method of sampling shouldnot be used if any other means is available
