      Q: Can I use this for locating cable line or gas line underground?

      12 years ago
      1 Answer
      • A: It depends how big and deep the lines are, as well as the composition of the gas line. If the gas line is brass, it should be spotted about 6 inches down. The cable line will be tougher as the wire strands are typically very small in diameter. My suggestion is to move up to the Discovery 2200 so that you can go deeper and have better sensitivity and discrimination.
