Abstract: This paper provides development of a hand-held prototype acoustic (sonic) locator for locating buried utility pipes. The operating principle of the locator is to send a sonic impulse into the ground and detect an echo from the pipe. A series of echo readings are taken at several locations and will result into an immediate cross sectional display showing the pipe or pipes in lateral position. The locator operates through dirt covered with grass, concrete, or blacktop. The response is essentially the same for plastic or metallic pipes of the same diameter
