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: )

Although he himself has never actually owned or restored a tractor, he was always enthusiastic and always around helping with other peoples projects.
