You'll regret that decision when the box leaks and the connections corrode then burn up and start tripping the breaker. It is not hard to run proper conduit and junction boxes with the correct type of wire.

Live wires can be traced but the equipment is expensive and generally outside realm of the DIY'er.

Sch40 PVC should already be there in the ground and the box I mentioned is a nema 6p box. That is most definitely the correct and proper conduit/box.

We definitely have a different definition of expensive, non contact voltage testers run about 15 bucks at home depot, I am sure Harbor Freight is even cheaper.
