Anyone have an idea of what this is buried in the ground? (cable, sprinker?)

Was digging to plant a tree and saw this black tube thingy. Not sure if it's a cable line, a phone line or a sprinkler line?

Can't be electrical cable since it's barely 12 inches underground.

 

@vbx, may not be official electrical cable, but the previous owner of your house may have laid a cable to garden lights etc etc.
I would investigate where it leads, 'but on NO account cut it'.

 

Yeah, good idea. I'll see where it leads to by digging around it.

 

@vbx 'around' it, definatly .

 

Any line buried that shallow is most likely a sprinkler line.

 

Been to hot for me to dig up. It's a strange line. The sprinklers lines I have are all PVC. The mods I've done to move the sprinkler head, I used a rainbird line which has a green line running across it and made of a used tire like rubber. This is pretty thin plastic.

So this is weird. I'll have to see where it leads to.

 

@vbx intriguing!!!!!!
