Locating valve box

I have valve to replace but I cannot locate the valve box which is buried. Any suggestions on how to locate it?

You need to use a wire locator. You can trace the wire from the controller to the valve.
There's a video on this page on how to use the locator.

You could try poking around with a screwdriver to see if you can locate a valve box. The box could be anywhere.
