Magnetic Locators are a Land Surveyors best friend when it comes to location anything underground such as a property corner, a valve box, or manhole cover thats buried under 2" of asphalt. A magnetic locator is simple, it will locate anything that a magnet will stick to. Why you ask? Because that metal is ferrous and a Magnetic Locator (also known as a Ferrous Locator) detects the material and alerts a sound signifying depth and mass of the underground utility, property corner, manhole lid, ductile iron pipe or cast iron meter box.
