$100/ft sounds about right, he quoted me $4000 including running into house
and expansion tank for a drilled well upto 80 feet deep.

new house next door, and he said he got tons of great water at 40
feet.
I'm
sure he hit water sooner, he just went down to 40 to insure he'd have
enough.

Or he most likely is getting paid by the foot (~$100-150/ft in my area)

HOLY CRAP! What kind of well driller charges $100 to $150 per foot? The
highest I've EVER seen a well driller charge (and I didn't hire him) was
$11
per foot for the well and $8 for the casing.

I just had a well drilled and paid 9 and 9. 220 feet deep, 14 gallons per
minute, 40 feet of casing, cost me less than $2000.

Yep, that's about what I paid for new well (60 ft), run to house (100
ft), new pressure tank, extra circuit for a 110 outlet at pump and
install 1 frost free hydrant.
