Trying to find a design for a empty conduit tracer. We've dug at a couple of places at the 501c3 where it was "supposed to go", NG. Seems to me this is a simple widget for energizing a test wire in the conduit or some sort of mouse - LF or magnetic placed on the end of a snake.
Some googling hasn't found a design so hoping a towertalkian has a 
design or link to one that works.  This 2" conduit was installed some 
time ago at 24" depth but where it routes is now lost.
The commercial tracers are $3000.  My budget is more like $20.  The 
usual AM radio and dongle SDR's are available.
Also interested for when I need it to exactly locate my coax conduits 
before digging.
