Anyone ever find an underground cable the hard way? I was digging (with post-hole digger) the final post for my stock gate yesterday evening when I noticed that I had cut completely through a small diameter multi-wire cable.

After the fact, I located a number for, and called, the "Call before you Dig" folks. They put me in touch with Verizon who is currently investigating it. No phone outage up the road at the neighbor, and this line has to be at least 5-6 years old. Oops!
