I've rented pipe and cable locaters at tool rentals before. They can be
tricky, but can also give good results. <br><br>

<blockquote type=cite class=cite cite="">We have a Schonstedt unit, works
very well for electrical services. There has to be current in the cable
to see it. Otherwise you can find data cables and dead electrical cables
by injecting a signal using the signal generator, either by induction or
direct connection.<br>
It can find a service very accurately and give you the depth. However, it
takes some practice as you can get fooled by stray currents and water
pipes. It's nicely made and robust.<br>
Price is a bit more than you were expecting, if memory serves me right.
You can rent for one-offs.<br><br>

<dd>Hi Wrenches,<br><br>
<dd>Do any of you use a underground wire locating device? If so,
can you recommend a brand? I've seen them for $50 and
$2,500. Reply off list, please.<br><br>
<dd>Thanks,<br>
