Ron,

We used to use dowsing in the plumbing business with fairly good success 
around septic tanks and leech lines.  Take a coat hangar and straighten it 
out.  Bend it into an L shape about 6" by 12-14" . Hold the short end 
loosely in your hand holding the long part parallel to the ground.  Walk the 
pipe line area, you will get the wire pointing parallel to the pipe when you 
find it.

Good Luck,
Wayne G.
