A single locating flag wire bent at an angle works EVERY time for buried infastructure. Some use two wires, but I use one. It works every freaking time. Not sometimes, not occasionally, every time. I can find gas lines, water lines, sewer lines, co-axial lines, you name it and it is buried it can be found using witching sticks. The main problem is that you can not identify what you pick up while locating, which is why I then confirm the locate with some other source such as an map or line locator.
Well someone has their panties in a wringer don't they. You don't have to read the article you know. Honestly there has been stuff on of Slashdot of late that would not have made the cut a few years ago, but to say it is stooping to the reddit level is a little to steep. Maybe it is just the penalty of success. Of course Slashdot is a commercial site owned by dice. com and as such is inherently trying to draw more eyes toward its advertising.

But the main point is that it works.
