Tie a stone to the end of a long string and throw it in.
Drop a stone or light stick and count seconds until you hear/see it hit bottom.

Hi Dick. Sorry I wasn't much help. I wish you the best!Thanks for answering, however the edge of the sink hole is 100 feet up a slope, with many trees in the way, it is not like a well. The top opening of the hole is about 800 feet at the top. In fact one edge is across the fence on another person’s property. The golfing ranger has possibilities. I will ask around.
Guess it could be worse. If you lived in south Louisiana in Bayou Corne, THAT sinkhole swallowed a whole small community.

Were it me, I'd do fishing line with ever 5 feet marked off. Good lead weight at the end should let it go straight down without much of an issue, plus you could run it off a long pole or branch.

size of one of the trees I had to cut.
I can't seem to upload this zip file.
Please someone let me know if it did or did not upload.
Have you considered the possibility that the sink hole is "active"? Meaning that it is growing.
