Underground Cable Tracing.

Zoomup

An P.V.C./P.V.C.  cable is run in steel conduit underground from a farm barn to another location. It may run underground to some nearby concrete slabs previously used as a base for wooden sheds, or it may run for about 80 metres to some distant  derelict outbuildings.

I am not too familiar with all of the types of underground cable tracers available.

Which would be the best type of cable tracer to use to determine its run? There may be other buried metal to confuse some tracers. Will a signal injected into the cable be able to be detected by a cable tracer as the cable in inside steel conduit?

The cable is currently dead.

Thanks,

Z.

    I dismiss them not because I can't explain explain them, but rather because

    a) I can explain them - they are explicable in boring mundane terms, as I have done above.

    b) because people like James Randi have performed controlled tests where dowsers have consistently failed. In one experiment they  buried 10 parallel plastic water pipes in a big wide pit. After first allowing each dowser to examine the ground for any anomalies, they ran water though one of the pipes selected at random. The dowsers consistently failed to identify which pipe had the running water better than chance.
