I believe that the high dollar equipment is more precise as far as location and the specs state that it also gives a depth reading which is within 10% accurate. Knowing the approximate depth is an advantage that would pay the cost of the instrumentation in a few uses. I did not believe that the brass rod method of locating pipes worked until I had clogged septic field years ago. I called an experienced plumber who was able to find the distribution box and all of the laterals using ell shaped brass rods. I tried using the rods and they deflected at the same locations for me as they did for him. I put zero credibility on any mind over matter theory. However I and about half of the other posters have been convinced through personal experience that the brass or copper rod method works to locate underground pipes. If something works for my purposes, I will continue to use that technology or method. Note that I stated that the brass rod method "could be"a more crude version of the high dollar technology. I believe that There is a physics principle behind the brass rod locating method. I certainly respect the opinion of those who do not believe that the method works. This subject will never be resolved on an internet forum. It is interesting that the method continues to be widely practiced if it is a consistent failure.
