Has anyone ever attempted to use a 4ft bit to drill for pockets? I understand power tools are prohibited on public land. Just theoretical. Say I have a 4ft diamond bit and a 1/4" endoscope and a 20v max hammer drill

Unfortunately they do, though I think there should be exceptions when they are being used to lessen the footprint instead of increasing it, as in cases such as this. But I guess even getting a claim and a permit then drilling is far less work than digging an entire are up. I was in an area the other day that you couldn't even tell what had been dug and what was loose dirt or anything in between for about a solid 2 acres. This brings me to another question, do you guys think there are enough open pockets out there as opposed to collapsed ones that would warrant this type of exploration?
