@thisishyimhot strong sensitive detectors require for this job. most mines plastic but they have metal springs in it. who cleans those mines mostly single people, no family no parents, not responsible to anyone, mostly half mad. this people reduce the risk by sending small group of sheep in the front, sheep walks in the front so if sheeps step on mine they die not the mine cleaners. i am retired army officer i saw mine cleaning before.

It's actually really sad Vietnam and Cambodia both suffer from the landmines placed by all sides during the Vietnam war. People are still to this day during to these small, unseeable explosives

@thisishyimhot There's usually metal in there somewhere. If there isn't... well they're screwed.

Someone get Aki Ra in that damn place. "well trained demining technician" my ass! Aki Ra could demine that whole area in like an hour with just a stick and his pocketknife just as carefree as if you were mowing a lawn.

Excellent and very impressive work removing left over land mines.

I just wonder when do the countries that still manufacture those war toys will stop.

That's the million dollars question!!
