A. Prodders
The most common techniques for mine
detection are manual, using either
prodders or metal detectors. The most
basic approach to mine detection is
prodding. Using prodders, rigid sticks
of metal about 25 cm long; the deminer
scans the soil at a shallow angle of
typically 30. Each time he detects an
unusual object, he assesses the contour,
which indicates whether the object
