I hit a major underground phone cable with a farm tractor and a moldboard plow. It was only 8" deep in the middle of one of my fields and was not marked. And no - I called no one before I dug. I did not know it was there. Verizon came up and spent a day fixing it along with a backhoe and team of four people. It was a major line. They later billed me for $4700 which I refused to pay.

An outside contractor with a backhoe - yes. It was all there in writing. The insurance adjuster thanked me and said he'd learned something new. The Verizon people acted like a bunch of militant thugs but did not get their way.
