Since it costs **** all, you could always try dowsing ?

I have seen it done, and "work" for sewers. That's all I will say, since
the "science" a lot of people peddle about it is clearly claptrap.



My own pet theory (again in a minority of one) is that the dowsing rod
amplifies any deviation from standing vertically in the person holding
it. Above a sewer pipe the ground has compacted since it was buried, so
there's a small dip, maybe to small to notice. As you walk over it your
body moves away from vertical. Just a thought.
