    What's the best way to find underground cables? Is there a device that can be bought to find them that ain't too expensive, only looking to locate 1 wire so that digging work can be carried out nearby it

    There is a device and I think it can be rented. However it is not 100% reliable. The chances of detecting a cable with this detector is increased if it live and if the current is high.

    Proceed with care !
