    Look up the "ground penetrating radar" post that took place on this forum not so long ago, good option.

    Yep, ground penetrating radar. Just used mine last week to find a drain pipe.

    Yep, ground penetrating radar. You can also try divining rods if you do not have access to radar. Somewhat primitive but I have used the divining rods with some success. Bent coat hangers or bent wires without the insulation worked.

    I agree with all above, however sometimes if you really look at the ground the grass will be thinner or thicker over a pipe because the ground was worked years ago. May even be a slight swale in the earth. Also mark out all pipe location you can find and joints are normal at 20 foot apart. Look for 90 degree or 45 degree places it could be. It is kind of like an old test in school that is multiple questions old of out of 4, 2 are bad for sure and then you are down to 50%.
