I am looking for a cost effective proble hole drilling machine.
Any idea? Thank you.

Sorry if I cause some confusion here. I honestly don't know if my query about mining exploration drilling machine is off topic here but just wishing to get some input from you guys if you have some experience.
Any link? Thank you.
don't know much about actual probe drilling, but you might want to check this site out. 😎

Thank you for the link.
Could you tell us the diameter, and depth of cores you need? And, through what material?
Thanks!

And for what purpose?
Its like asking, how much does a survey cost?
Well, Brad, there is one for roads. Typical is 4" dia, and up to 2' deep.
And soil conservation service has some. I think 2" dia, and up to 55'. It's use is generally on farms, etc.
I am looking for a drilling machine for short term mining exploration application. What I need is just to extract (for analysis) 4" diameter sample. Maybe a maximum of 6m depth would suffice for my requirement.
Thank you.
