In operation the hammer member can be lifted and accelerated down onto the probe member to drive the driven portion of the probe member into the ground to locate a buried pipeline, and can be dropped and accelerated up against the tether to pull the driven portion out of the ground. A splash guard and stake hole maker are also provided.
