This landmine is not detectable by standard mine detectors. It is fired by a standard blasting cap (Refs 24 25)... 

Shu Mine. A Ger WWII mine that consisted of 9.5 lb of TNT in a small wooden box, the lid of which was held open with a stick. If the stick was disturbed, the lid was snapped shut, detonating the mine. It could not be detected by electromagnetic mine detectors Ref J. Quick, Dictionary of Weapons and Military Terms , McGraw-Hill, NY (1973), 398... 

The foregoing discussion focused on handheld NQR land mine detectors, but a vehicle-mounted format has also been investigated [159], This device consisted of a large magnetometer coil, approximately 1 m in diameter, mounted on the front of a vehicle. It was designed to detect TNT and RDX in large antitank mines. All NQR hardware,...

Recently, the topic of improvised explosive devices (IEDs) has garnered a lot of attention. IEDs may take the form of roadside bombs, suicide bombers, or vehicle-borne bombs. Roadside bombs share some detection issues with land mines, and in principle, the NQR land mine detectors discussed in the previous section can be used to detect roadside IEDs. However, many IEDs are remotely controlled, and the short standoff distance available with NQR makes IED detection dangerous for the NQR operator. The personnel screening devices already discussed in Section 5.2.3. are applicable to the suicide bomber. 

Materials with very narrow ESR lines (AHpp < 20 mG) can be used as small-volume and low-power magnetic sensors of great sensitivity. Such devices would have applications as submarine mine detectors, local terrestrial magnetic field detectors [65,66], and for the identification of objects with an added suitable paramagnetic substance [67]. 

With the exception of springs, firing pin, safety pin and. k 0 shotgun shell base, the entire mine Is made of plexiglass. This will make it almost impossible for an attacker to use a mine detector or metal detector to locate your mines. The only way he can find your mines is to manually probe, which should give you plenty of time to use a rifle. 

Mine detectors. Mine detectors are designed to assist the individual Marine in a detailed, deliberate sweep of a specific area, u.sually a road. Particular... 

Designed to avoid detection by a mine detector, this mine Is constructed of black or brown tar-impregnated cardboard, It Is gauged for activation by a force of 350... 

The VC box mine is constructed of wood utilizing discarded ammunition boxes or any scrap material. Mine detectors will not locate these devices. They can be water-... 

I) Three mine detectors useful in the removal of boobytraps are issued AN/PRS-3 (Polly Smith) and the transistorized. aural indication model, designed for metal detection, and AN/PRS-4 fo(r nonmetallic detection. Of the metal detectora, the transistorized model is the lighter and more powerful. All three models have the same de ficiencea. They may signal a small piece of scrap as well as a metal ca explosive or signal an air pocket in the...
