<div>Well i don't know if dowsing will work. But here is a sure fire method. get a metal rod about 3/8" in diameter about two feet long. now here comes the fun part operating a power tool sharpen it to a point. Then get a hammer. Now using the hammer hit the metal rod into the ground. See it's fun isn't it. Now here is the science part. after pulling the metal rod from the ground. see if water comes out the hole. If it does you now know where the pipe is. </div> <div> </div> <div>Of course the downside of this plan is now that you have a hole pounded in the pipe every three feet or so. you'll probably need to replace the pipe. This will of course entail a even bigger power tool. like a backhoe. </div> <div> </div> <div>I probably did'nt help but maybe you got a laugh<BR><BR><B><I>Ron Van Putte <vanputte@cox.net></I></B> wrote:</div> <BLOCKQUOTE class=replbq style="PADDING-LEFT: 5px; MARGIN-LEFT: 5px; BORDER-LEFT: #1010ff 2px solid">I am trying to trace
