We suspect that a splice was made in the wire
Can anyone offer any good ideas for a way to locate the break
If the open is "clean", that is, NOT grounded or crossed, you can determine
the distance-to-open from either direction and use that information to
determine where to dig. Of course, such testing generally requires the use
of
a TDR (time domain reflectometer), not something found in the average
DIYer's
toolkit.
Any easy way to fake a TDR with a signal generator and an oscilloscope?

Yes...
Thanks!
