Man!
You guys have some unique items but for me I'll pass, if you have ever been around a mine when it goes off ( And yes I know there are members who have ) it will "Grab your attention" really quick!
What gets me is that nobody has mentioned digging up mines and the possibility of a " Mouse trap " device being attached underneath when its lifted up and the results it would bring... also they often place mines on top of mines!
We used the "mouse trap device" on our mines and its a dangerous devise to have hidden from your view, I don't think that all of the mines being sold are deactivated by "Pro's" .
I would strongly encourage anyone to be 100% sure that such devices are free of any explosives before bringing them home or around loved ones, I know I sound like someones Dad but trust me these items do "Terrible" things and I want nothing but the best for all of you!
My friend had both legs blown off, he lost his hearing he was screaming in fear because he could not hear... he bled to death!

ya i have stories like that but not now. i was a tanker in the Marine Corps, and have seen some really cool things and sick stuff too.
but i will say we used to run over mortars in or M60A1's and sometimes damage the tracks so you know a mine could...

when i un screwed the fuse assemble i found that it had not been deactivated, it is now :-).
what lies below the fuse assemble is, rubber seal, 2 screw plates that inter lock, card washer, metal washer and of course the det, on the base of the det on the outside there is a capital "R"
cheers,
