Locating black iron gas pipe

[fordguy]

So at some point the kitchen was converted to electric, and the gas pipe is nowhere to be found in the kitchen. I driled some holes and used a cam from above, didnt see

got this little thing, but not having any luck, clipped ground onto the included ground spike, positive to the gas pipe outside, not having much luck

I do see the gas pipe going into the ceiling between first and second floor from a T by the water heater, but its at the worst possible location by stairs in the center of the house and the only option is to tear the floor from 2nd story or a bunch of ceiling and wall drywall in the first.

What usually happens when when kitchen converted to electric? I would have thought common sense to cap it off nearby, but possibly capped off up in the ceiling between floors?

Is it not capped off in the wall cavity? Depending on the laziness of the homeowner, tha'ts pretty common.

Probably should've been plugged at the Tee closest to the supply.

Can you have somebody tap on it while you listen with a stethoscope??? IMHO: I would leave the pipe stubbed in with a cap.

Does it come from the attic or the basement?

Go find where it drops down or comes up and measure off a known spot or line.

A drywall hook may be excessive this early.

Hang a TV on the other side of the wall where you suspect the pipe is. Garauntee you'll find it on the first or second hole

If it was a white iron pipe you'd have found it by now.
