Thats not going to work any more. Having worked in the locating industry for 15 years. We got tired of paying for other peoples mistakes and we take photos of all our locates. Also remember that the poor locator who takes the blame for your mistake may well loose his job if he didnt take photos and you get lucky enough to get away with it.
One rule we lived by. If we screwed up, Own up and fix what we did wrong so its less likely to happen again. I hope it was not a fiber that got hit. Pricey buggers to get fixed. Fixing it is cheap its the lost calls that cost. I have seen them cost upwards of a million bucks when its all done.
try to explain that to your insurance company. Just because your on a farm dont just think there is nothing there. They like to put them 30 feet off the rd to keep them away from the road work.

You must call for a locate and hand dig to the depth of your excavation with in 2 foot of the marks. Some states less some more. 10 inches is to shallow but if you didnt follow the law, your hosed.
