More About Mines
















This was the first time I saw this type of MineHog. At the end of the boom was a large rotating screw. They don't dig up the whole field but concentrate on spots. It exploded 2 mines as we watched it for only a couple minutes, which leads to how they know where to dig. One way is the Dog. The dogs are trained to detect a mine by its smell of explosive. I think this operation was a UN job, because all the equipment was white and the dog handlers didn't speak english.
