Sometimes the discoloration is faint after time. Most times you'll see a lighter colored strip. sometimes you can even see a ditch line where the trench settled. A probe is a "T" handled metal rod 4-6 ft in length with a point. Just push it into the ground. We use for finding everything from sewer and water services to power lines. When probing the ground is usually softer in a trench line. So if you're job site has had the utilities located you can start probing where things have been marked. Just move left or right until you find it. Great way to find a depth of a utility before you start.</p></blockquote><p></p>
