Sounds like an interesting story that I'm curious about... how did putting a strong magnet in the ground help you install your main water line?

I had the main rupture under my floor which is a concrete slab. so Instead of breaking the concrete I routed a new line from the outside directly to the back of my bathroom wall, where there was a small space behind the shower to access the plumbing. Luckily there was no concrete underneath the bathroom tub so I made a hole with a power washer and a very long extension wand for it, directly vertical. In this hole I put the strong neodymium magnet. Now from the outside I was able to locate exactly where my other hole was with my app. This way I was able to install a new main into my house with no damage to my structure.
