Andy suggests:

Couple a garden hose to the end you can find and run water into
the PVC.... Go to the area surrounding the buried end and look for
the
sandy ground to be wet......

That's an excellent idea.... but I really hate water in my electrical
conduits.... I'll use that as a last resort. Thanks.

Hi Ed

Have you considered the use of a wad of towel pulled thru the conduit to
dry it after using water to locate the burried end?

Compressed air could be used in place of the water. The air excaping
from the burried end shouild be easily detected.
