[Antennas] Coax questions

Hello,
One way would be to inject a signal with like a 1KHz square wave and use a transistor radio to follow it. This would mean disconnecting coaxes from their radios.

>> I have a few towers scattered over 2 acres in the back yard. All have coax runs buried in PVC. I'm planning another antenna out amongst them. I have a general idea where all the runs are buried but not to the exact inch. I can just start digging lightly to find the PVC but that's a long process. Is it possible to use a metal detector? Something like the beachcomers use.The PVC is about 4''-6'' below the surface. Frost line is not a problem in the Tn delta. Has anyone used one to find coax? 
> Is there more than BuryFlex on the market? I just want to consider what will be best. This will be an HF run so no worry about VHF/UHF losses.
