Demining is a slow, costly and extremely dangerous procedure. Every piece of potentially
mined ground needs to be checked carefully for any metal readings. In countries
like Cambodia, which has been at war for over 2 decades, the ground is already full
of metal fragments from bullets, bombs and buckets, making the job of demining
a lot harder.
When a mine is located it is usually destroyed 'in situ'.
