There's an old network admin adage that if you ever need a backhoe to show up, all you need to do is bury some fiber optic cable.

Soon enough a backhoe will magically appear to sever your buried fiber.

This trick works great if you ever get lost. They say a master network admin always carries 6ft of fiber optic just for this reason.

In my experience, you can easily find any buried telecom cable as long as you dig several feet away from the marked utility lines.
