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



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.

We also have very different levels of understanding when it comes to tracing live circuits. I have NCV-capable DVOMs and much better than what Harbor Freight sells. They won't trace a buried cable. I've looked into units capable of tracing live wires in walls and shallowly buried and they are hundreds of dollars at the lowend.
