it is brilliant and I should thank Massoud for his idea. I am sure this can be used in Iran also as we have same problem and the same climate.

Pretty amazing idea. The only thing is, it seems it would be hard to know if you had found all of the landmines. I wonder if several could be linked together, maybe in a zigzag pattern for better coverage, and all move together in order to sweep a larger area at once?

This is incredible-- what a contribution to clear land mines so the eqeuipent loses a leg and no human wounded-- all at a cost 40 euros!
