Why would they want people locating them with metal detectors? "Ooh, I think I found a treasure, better get a pick axe and dig it up!"

For the service people to find the exact location of the pipe without digging. This is done with water pipes also but I have seen them using a metallic tape similar to the one placed above buried power and telephone lines instead of a wire.
