They will probably detect them but I'd be a little hesitant about picking them up.

Electrical Service has to be buried at least 18" by code. You may pick up the induction, but would not be able to pinpoint the raceway as it is more than likely PVC. There are special units made for this that actually send a tone through the AC line and the receiver can pinpoint the signal at 4 feet.

Don't chance it.

Thanks for the help
he claimed the electric comp, would charge but I
thought it was free. Oh well

I had to get the electric company to check my yard for anything in the ground before having a dish networks installed.
They didn't charge me anything here in Virginia.

I know we have had some sites that our detectors go crazy, these are bigger schools that have under ground wiring etc.
