I use Harris Safety-Silv 56FC a 56% Silver Brazing Rod.  You need the higher
content of silver to hold up under ground (though some new alloys work too),
and it bonds to everything (Copper/bronze/steel/stainless).

Only down side is the cost.  I was lucky to get a kilo of sticks about 2 years
ago for $200 at a hamfest.
