<p>A passive marker including a tuned circuit having an inductance and a capacitance carried by a carrier enclosed within a hollow sphere that is partially filled with a liquid to freely float the carrier. The inductance includes a coil which, when the carrier is floating, positions the axis of the coil so it is closer to the vertical than the horizontal. The passive marker is of a type that is buried relative to portions of utilities such as gas, telephone, water and power lines, for use in locating such portions when necessary.</p> |
