I can witch a plastic water line. Also worked for pipeline companies and they try hard to locate lines properly but if you know the line is there the only safe way is to expose the line before you dig. While exposing it you may notice it is 500 ft from where they marked it. That is to say, trying to actually find it and expose it may take a long time if it is not where it is marked.

Another method is to weld a bar across the bucket teeth then bolt a piece of stiff rubber to the bar. It's still slow going but you'll not damage the pipe.
