Ive done this to locate wires in walls, might work for wires in
ground.

Make a buzzer form a relay by attaching the NC contacts in series with
the coil and battery.
Connect it to a wire running through the conduit making sure the wire
is not connected to power. The buzzer will generate enough hash you
can pick it up on a pocket AM rx.
