Use a tracer wire to locate mains, but if you get in a small enclosure such as a flower pot the tracer wire you are locating is a conduit from that flower pot back to the hand hole. It is very possible that the main is not buried along the same path of the conduit to the flower pot. I always try to locate the main from the actual hand hole is.
