  • Method for detecting buried land mines by non-destructive means
    Patent number: 4641566
    Abstract: Buried plastic mines or nonmetallic objects are located by spraying a suspected area with a leach of ionized metal and leaching the ionized metal into the soil to leave a metallic concentrate on an impervious object, such as a plastic mine. An array of detectors detects anomalies of concentrations of the metal, the concentrations being the result of the leach settling on or about the impervious object.
