Tom, around here the well guys carry a piece of re-bar about 8' long. This is used to probe for the well-head and when it is found it is left in place as a marker so that the backhoe operator knows where it is too. Once the well is located I strongly recommend setting a conventional well tile over it, resting on a base of gravel. This will make any future access much easier. Tip of the week time, if you hang a compass vertically by a piece of string it will go crazy when you get near the well, this is because of the magnetic flux emanating from the steel casing stuck down into the earth acting like a 'magnetic antenae'. Best of luck.
