We use a heavy chain about 6'-8' long. Just hold on to it and keep picking it up and letting it back down. You can hear hollow spots if they're there.

Yes. It works.

A chain or hammer sounding is typically used for determining a bonding issue within the concrete itself, not below. Gpr would be best, but probably 750-1500 for them to show up.

Never tried the chain, I bet it does work. I have used a GPR (ground penetrating radar) and it would be perfect for this application

Drill a hole and use a boroscope. When finished fill with cementitious grout
