I have some pipe that I had run for an outdoor spigot that I never
finished installing. To test a method of finding it I shot some air
into it the other end was pretty easy to find by listening. I could
hear the rush of air and a lot of gurgling. My dog actually found it
in the roses bushes before I did.
