If you have a well for water there and use it to drink of cook food or even wash your hands or irrigate plants/trees I suggest you buy an easy and cheap test for heavy metals in water.
You can also take some samples of it and carry to local authority to check them for heavy metals.
The fact is mercury (like many others but more than others) is subtle... you think you drop it in one place and it find its way to water and e.g. vegetables you may grow there even at consistent distance from the contaminated site...
So, do it. You can buy these tests over Internet (e.g. ebay) and are easy and cheap; if have some friend at local university or lab or e.g. public environment agency took samples and carry there to check water (and also soil at distance from contaminated site).
You must know mercury and its compounds are extremely dangerous for nervous system ( especially of childrens ) and can cause skin disorders... better know if you drink the water there... 
Kind regards,

Hi Max.
I agree with you.
At the place where i buried the Mercury there is not water for drink nearest from 10Km.
The nearest water to irrigate trees etc is 700m far. I check it at a chemical office and until now no Problem.....
Of course it was a very bad action
Regards
