If you used Demo Cord, you could just feed it all the way through to a faucet at the far end!<BR>
Touch it off, and it would not only locate the whole pipe, but dig a new ditch too! That would<BR>
also eliminate any need for a shovel...<BR>

Suppose, instead of a beer can on a <BR>> string, I attach a stick of dynamite with a remotely activated <BR>> detonator. I let out the string as far as I want and set off the <BR>> detonator from above ground. When the debris cloud from dirt/rocks/ <BR>> people/animals disperses, I should have a neat hole in the ground, <BR>> right where the pipe is.<BR>> <BR>> Ron Van Putte<BR>> <BR>> On Apr 6, 2008, at 11:29 PM, krishlan fitzsimmons wrote:<BR>> > Alright Ron, I'll bite.
