Default automower cable fault detection

The perimeter loop cable around my lawn for my automower is broken.

I have a cable fault detector with a tone generator and a "pen"
receiver, which can trace along the cable, but it doesn't work when the
single wire goes under ground or concrete.

I wonder if a network/telephone cable tester can work on a single wire
underground.

I'm looking at

After all, a single wire in the ground should look a little like a
coaxial cable?
