Probably a tile probe? The make them of fiberglass (no shock hazard) and
metal. Some have ball tips.
Could also mark with surveyor stakes. Orange ones are easier to find under
the grass, white might be easier on the XYL. Metal are easy to find with a
metal detector.

I saw a cable guy searching for underground conduit by using a T handle made
from hardened steel. Of course, this only works in regular, damp earth.

Subject: [TowerTalk] Locating Buried Feedline
I'm getting ready to trench in a cable line to a new tower, and before I do,
I'd like to mark where the existing cables are buried, particularly near the
shack where they all come together.
Any ideas what the most reliable/cheapest way to do this is?
Obviously, I will be digging by hand when I get in the "crossfire"
of existing cables, but I know that you can do a lot of damage with an
errant spade in just one swing.
Thanks.
