I have never tried it on anything but water, but it always works on water lines.

Seen it done in project we did for fms Technologies years ago in Cotulla, Asherton, Encinal and Laredo, Texas by backhoe operator we hired to dig tower base and anchor pits. He found telephone lines, gas ,sewer and water pipes that didn't show up on school maintenance plans or known to them... It was cool to watch him....kind of mystical...of course it's Aliens, it's always Aliens.... but seriously saved us allot of money and grief. A contractor also working on this project cut under ground power line and shut down most of power in Carrizo Springs....

If worried, get yourself a cheap cable locator and track it yourself. If you hit them and they are not marked properly it is not your fault.

I've noticed the locating of telephone cables is a bit sketchy around here to say the least, so it makes me nervous running long distances parallel with them. I'll try for the opposite site of the road when possible, but sometimes that will mean crossing several driveways or other obstacles. Thanks. -Jason Virus-free. www.avast.com
