Nah the next owner won't have any problem unless it is an insulated wire.
Bare AL wire in the ground, especially one that thin, will probably be gone in a year or two max.

I got somehow a huge roll of about #20 springy aluminum wire and put it all

Does the gauge of radial wire on the ground make much difference in
performance of the ground system.



I have a reel of 1000' of 12 conductor telephone wire. Each conductor is
very thin, but that is 12,000' of radials. Should I use it for radials?
