bottom to prevent snagging by anchors and fishing. Additional and increasingly strict rules exist for piping in heavily polluted areas. This depth of burial makes it very difficult to locate these pipelines with conventional metal detectors as they are often beyond the device's detection range. JW Fishers Mfg. has developed a solution to this increasingly challenging task in the form of the PT-1 Pipe Tracker.
