Ah! What a difference a foot makes. Miss Dig marks the lines and you have to hand dig (by law) within 4' of their markings.
Recently I was putting a fence starting from the corner of my house where the gas meter is and running parallel to where the gas supply line was for about 20'. I had the gas installed several years ago and have pix and measurements exactly where they pulled the line with a plow. I knew I was ok but called Miss Dig anyway. Miss Dig notified about a dozen utilities. Most just replied by email that they had nothing in the area. ATT sent a guy out who wrote in paint on the grass "none" and took a picture of it. Gas company DID come out and mark the line, exactly where I knew it was. Guy looked at my fence line and measured. I was 3'6" from his markings where I was going to auger a post. He kind of grimaced and informed me of the 4' law. I told him that the line was fairly new and I was there when they pulled it and his markings were spot on. (The gas company winds a wire around their line and attaches it at the meter. Guy hooks onto this wire where it comes out of the ground with a generator of some kind and walks the line with a detector.) He kind of winked when I said "I'll be sure to hand dig that post". Next day, post went in and the fence is up. (Hand dug, of course :wink: )

While this may have been the bread and butter of the belt work in the past (since this is what made the money on many farms), the smaller tasks may have been and still can be its real claim to fame. The thresher would bring in the harvest (and income) once a y
