    Do you know any groundwork contractors? They would/should have a cable detector. An hours hire for a man who knows how to use one would be cheap compared to the alternative.

    Or hire a CAT (Cable avoidance tool) from any local tool hire company. They will explain how to use it. Also shut off the power before digging.
