Works on buried lines. Seen it done in project we did for fms Technologies years ago in Cotulla, Asherton, Encinal and Laredo, Texas by backhoe operator we hired to dig tower base and anchor pits. He found telephone lines, gas ,sewer and water pipes that didn't show up on school maintenance plans or known to them... It was cool to watch him....kind of mystical...of course it's Aliens, it's always Aliens.... but seriously saved us allot of money and grief. A contractor also working on this project cut under ground power line and shut down most of power in Carrizo Springs....
