[Shop-talk] finding buried gate wiring

[Pat Horne]

You are correct, it doesn't work. I tried this some years ago and even 
after I found the conduit, the receiver didn't pick up the signal on the 
wire.

The toner I used was for finding networking wire in walls, it worked 
fine for that. There m,ay be some higher power units out there for 
buried wire, but I don't work in that field.

Peace,
Pat
