I saw a movie where they used a device to make a forceful impact in the ground, and there were probes staked in the ground that imaged underground based on the acoustics. It was an alien movie, so I’m not hopeful, but is there not technology like that being worked on? Sonar for underground?

You have to already know roughly where you want to look, though. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ground-penetrating_radar https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ground-penetrating_radar https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Seismic_source https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Seismic_source
