I know this is slightly off topic, but since I am intending to run
some RF cable in the conduit, and since there are a lot of intelligent
hams on this group, I will proceed anyway:

Last year at the beginning of construction of a new house I buried
about 50 feet of 3/4" Sched. 40 PVD between the house and a location on
the property perimeter. Now that I am ready to use it, I can not
locate the perimeter end.... it is somewhere in about a 10' area, and the
end curves up to probably about a foot underground.

The ground is nearly pure sand, and is well landscaped now to the
point that I do not want to randomly dig it up.

The end terminated in an elbow curving up and is well duct taped
shut.

Can anyone suggest a method or equipment I might use to locate that
far end?

Tnx.

Another simple way - the old Native American waiting for a train
method. Push the fish tape all the way until it stops. Person 1 keeps
ramming the fish tape and person 2 puts ear to ground near far end and
listens for it. Needs no batteries or smoke.

Nix the water. I like the compressed air trick, Just don't look
directly at the conduit end . .
