Topband: Is my ground good?

[ted demopoulos]

The discussion on ground conductivity has been very interesting, but, how 
can I tell if my ground is poor average good or great??

Its about 1.5 feet of OK topsoil in heavy pine/hickory woods, with lots of 
big granite boulders. Below the topsoil is a very heavy clay based soil, and 
the ground is not at all porous - water accumulates very easily (there were 
frogs living in a hole dug for tower guy anchors during the drought this 
summer). Also the water table is maybe 2-5 feet below the surface on 
average.
Maybe 700 feet away is (freshwater) swamp (where the not yet fully 
operational beverage is terminated).

I'm in Coastal NH - the ocean is maybe 10-15 miles away, although some 
brackish water/marsh starts within 2 miles).

Other than experience, how can I tell how my ground is??
