LAND-MINE DETECTORS have played an
important part in the fighting in North
Africa, where fields of buried explosives
present a hazard to machines and men. One
type of detector, which is mounted on a
long handle and used much like a carpet
sweeper, employs a secret electrical prin-
ciple to reveal the presence of a metal
object under the sand. When it is passed
over a buried mine, the operator hears a
buzzing sound in earphones connected to the
device. The location of the mine is then
marked by a peg for the benefit of sappers
who will disarm and remove it.
