Franky almost killed me trenching an underground line.
What happens here
Before any digging can begin, it's crucial to locate existing utilities. The creator explains that public utilities are marked by official services, but private utilities (on his property) must be located by him. He introduces the use of a 'pipe finder tool', which he also refers to as 'dowsing rods' but clarifies that this is a commercially built version. He demonstrates how the device, held in a relaxed grip, reacts by turning when it crosses over an underground pipe. He confirms its accuracy, having previously used it to find lines that were later excavated.
Goal: Accurately locate all private underground utilities before trenching
