We are out in a big field. Maybe six months ago, we were planting fruit trees. We found a 6" pvc line down about a foot or so. We all wondered what it was. Promptly scooting over a bit, and finished the planting project. Today, we'd like to find that line, and see what the heck it is. Shouldn't be anything we know of. Problem is how do we find it, out in the field. This guy thinks it was by this tree, the other guy thinks it by one close by, and there is a third tree somewhere in the cone of where it might be.
We've gone there and done a lot of probling. No hits.
We can hire someone to come in and use some kind of locator. Who do we call, and what do we ask for? What kind of service can do these things?
One thing I'm going to try: I have a metal detector. I've been told some pvc pipes may have a wire thread inside. This would be easy to pick up with a metal detector. A problem is we don't know when they might have the wire inside. Ours could have been laid way back in '70s vintage. I'll give it a try next week with that idea.
I've thought about getting a trencher and cutting down at least a foot, and running it across where we feel the pipe is.
Appreciate ideas on what we should do to find that pipe (incidentally: we don't know what was in the pipe, or if anything now is).
Once we find it, we can then fine origin and terminal point fairly easy.
