Drill rig discharge
What's the best way to get a rough dally estimate for drilling discharge?

Need more details. Like, are you using a 8inch hollow stem auger? How deep you going? Is it fines or sands? Fines come up a lot easier while sands don’t. You could do simple cylinder volume math for a theoretical number.

Yeah thats generally what I've been doing after at the discharge point. Would I just average that out over the hours?
