Use divining or dosing rods or sticks… I use 2 metal coat hangers bent at 90 deg. Point them both in the same direction and when you walk and cross a pipe wiht some water in it, they rotate and cross each other over the pipe. I used this method at our daughter’s home to find where the garage drain emptied out into their yard. I walked around the garage, found the line, drew a line from the drain to that point and then kept following that line until we found the end that became buried about 50 yards on a hill side.
