You can put magnets on them for anti tank mines.

What if there is no wind?
I also don't agree with people declaring it a failure... because if you had a choice of walking through a minefield, before or after some of these... I bet you would go after...
It may not be perfect but you have to take what you get if you are at the point of entering a mine field.
NOTE: I consider minefields to be mankind's 56th worst invention.

I'm pretty sure there exists technology that will "xray" the ground and point out every single mine there is. But it is probably expensive, which is why "white man" don't wanna spend it on countries with little or no value.

Some Danish scientists have created a plant that change color from green to red when grown close to land mines and explosives.

Money? Thats the issue here. I was apparently way out of line to use the word white in a sentence, as you seem to not even understand the meaning of the " " . Lets refer to it as "The western world" so that we can avoid any confusion about what kind of countries and people i am referring to.
Money. Thats the whole clue. If there was money in clearing the mines, it would have been done already. By someone, somewhere. If there was oil under the minefield, do you think that field would have been left alone? No, someone would come along with some sort of wondermachine, that probably already exists plenty.
This video just represents the sad and lonely struggle of people that are unfortunate to be in the wrong place of the world. And "we" so called civilized, multicultured people are just watching and thinking "Well, hey, good luck man, i mean, what can i do..."
You can downvote me all you want, it doesn't change the fact that what im saying is true..

they should attach a red flag on the mines when they place them. so its easier to find them back.

Nevertheless, it's better to clear some landmines than doing nothing.
I think a combination of the german tank and a complete and deep analysis with heavy plows in the sand-ground in these deserts should be tried.
