    Regarding the point at 12:15 where you've got your peak and null not in the same spot.
    The correct procedure* is:
    1. Measure the distance between the peak and null, and then divide that distance by 2. In your case, it looks to be about 8" apart, so the number you need is 4".
    2. Draw a straight line from the null to the peak, and then continue in that same direction by an extra 4" beyond the peak (so you should now be 12" away from the null point).
    That is where the target utility should be. Yes, the point you marked halfway between the peak and null might be within your reported margin of error in this case, but it's not really good practice, because if there were additional buried conductive utilities nearby, the distortion can be made worse, and the responses from peak and null, and the location of the actual utility can be further apart (much more than the difference shown in this video example).
    *as per the Radiodetection user manual and as per page 58 of 'The ABC and XYZ of Locating Buried Pipes and Cables', also by Radiodetection.
    Hope this helps. :-)

    Nice!! Thanks for the info and I still would like you to do a video on proper sweep techniques though…. Your videos have helped me get certified and whilst out in the field.. I’m located in Minnesota and I have trouble locating Century Link any suggestions??

      Oh, CenturyLink, previously known as Level 3. Let me tell you, locating this fiber is proving to be quite a challenge. The company that installed this fiber, at least here in Illinois, Turnkey Network Solutions, really botched the job. They buried this fiber at a minimum depth of 10 feet in many locations. Here's my suggestion: if there's a wire attached to it, start by grounding one end. Then, head back to the other end hookup and try tracing it out using low-frequency methods. See if this fiber is connected to LMS.

    Do more fiber locates

      Absolutely, as soon as the weather improves in our area.

      @@811chicago5 I find that the older Aervoe Paint Sticks with the metal finger trigger works the best. The newer plastic trigger ones don't seem to push the spray nozzle enough to get the paint out of the can. Can anyone recommend a new paint stick that works with the cans?

      @@erictiahrt1847 Do you happen to have an Aervoe Paint Stick? If so, how's your experience been with its durability? I'm curious where I can grab one of these paint sticks myself.
