Drew - I've traced assorted PCV and ABS pipe with a metal rod attached
to a 2x4 handle. I know where it started, so just poked in the ground
till I hit the pipe. I then moved a bit further and poked till I hit
the pipe again. Every place I hit the pipe, I put down a rock. Once I
had the direction down, it was easier to guess the path till the pipe
changed direction. This is good for pipe up to about 2 feet down in my
clay soil.
