I have a need to locate my buried Invisible Fence wiring at several
locations prior to digging. I have been considering getting a metal
detector for other reasons, on eBay. Will a metal detector work for
locating this wire? If so, will the cheaper ones do the job?


No, but there is a far simpler way. Put the collar around your neck. Now
walk the perimeter zig zagging a bit.
