If any charts were ever made of them, they're long lost. There are mines connected by tripwires, where one exploding mine sets off several others. Wooden anti-personel mines, which don't register with metal-detectors, are sprinkled among the metal ones. Some mines are buried with other mines underneath, designed to kill anyone who tries to lift them. Then there's all sorts of metal shrapnel, along with metal objects deliberately buried to fake out the metal detectors. frostbackhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17198701834472057038noreply@blogger.com
