Circulation it the answer. Establish circulation and work the pipe either up or down. If you don't have returns at the surface then that means that you are in a very porous zone. Test it there; you may not need to go further.

Hi Rod, gees I wish we had water a 30ft. Use a A-frame with a snatch block at the top. The pipe will pull fairly hard because the clay packs the outside of the pipe. You might want to soak it for a few days. Whats going to happen when you pull the old pipe is the hole may colasp. If you take a piece of 3"pipe about 36" long, weld two 1/2" rod handles on it, add a 1/2" end cap and use this for a driver, can also used to drive steel posts. Use a pipe coupler with a 3/8" welded cap, screw that onto the pipe threads, then use the ram you just made to drive the pipe in. You need to drive the pipe deeper than where you want to stop, then pull the pipe back out about 5ft or so, so you have a water head for the pump as the hole will fill with water.

I would suggest new pipe if it hasn't been pulled in awhile. Something else that will work great is using a pressure washer for a drill. Make a end cap for the pipe with a pressure hose attachment, make a reducer head to the hole in of the pipe, turn the pressure on and work the pipe up and down drilling the hole as you go down. Use sch80 pipe for a drill pipe then replace that with new sch40 pipe.
