Just finished building a new garage. There was an old barn where my new garage was built and there was a yard hydrant in the old barn. It has never worked since I’ve lived on the property. Anyways when I had the old barn tore down I told the contractors not to worry about it and just do the dirt work as needed. So presumably one end of that water line is buried below my new shop.
Now to the house side. There is a 3/4 copper line stubbed up out of the concrete floor not connected to anything and it’s on the side that faces the direction of old barn/new barn. So I’m making the assumption that that is what was connected to that yard hydrant at one point in time.
I’d like to try to tie into that line since the hard work at the house is already done(dug below basement floor and stubbed up)
I’ve dug about 20feet perpendicular to where I thought I remembered that line being and never found it. What’s my best way to locate this abandoned line aside from just starting at the house and diggin out?
