Mine Probe 

a pointed, steel-tipped rod that is 2–3 m long and is used for detecting antipersonnel and antitank mines buried at a shallow depth. In searching for mines, the probe is thrust into the ground every 20 cm at an angle of 20°–45° and to a depth of up to 15 cm. If the probe strikes a hard object beneath the surface, the spot is examined thoroughly.
