I once was setting a post for my mail box. With my post hole digger I knew
any utility's were supposed to be 30" deep. They weren't and I hit a power
line. I saw smoke belch from the ground and out of the corner of my eye I
saw the fuseable link drop from the transformer across the street.
All was fine but I wondered if anyone else had hit any utilities when MDing.
It's easy to get a signal from all utilities.
Because the power line I hit was only one foot deep I wasn't fined.
