This may sound a little crazy but I have seen it before with results so if anybody has any comments or experiences, let me know. We used to take two pieces of number twelve wire about a foot and a half long and bend a couple of inches on the end at ninety degrees. Then walk across the area you think it might be in and hold the wires in each hand loosely. When the wires moved in together towards each other then we dug straight down and there would be the pipe with the wires. Saw it a couple of times and it seemed to work. Something about magnetic fields? Try to stop laughing ok? Kinda on the same principle that people who search for the right spot to drill water wells. Kooky?
