10 years ago I installed a post lamp in the front of my
property. The
house builder left a 2" plastic conduit (maybe 100 feet)
from the house
to the area where the post light was to be installed. I
put a 4" square
plastic box at each end of the conduit as ground level.
The house end
is no problem as it is in the asphalt driveway. At the
house end, I
connected an underground "romex" to a breaker on the
panel. At the
other end, I connected 2 underground "romex", one to the
post light and
one to an outlet, some 25' away. Through the years, the
outside box has
disappeared and I can't find it. I've tried raking up the
leaf mulch.
Nope. I've also tried one of the non touch voltage
testers. Nope.
I've tried a tracing unit connecting a signal to the power
line and
snooping with the other end. Nope! I don't have a metal
detector.
Not sure where to go from here. Any great ideas out
there?

I've seen the 2 L-shaped metal rods used to locate
underground electrical cable .. to my astonishment.
