Hopefully there are no A/P mines where the photographer went an A/T mine should not be set off by the weight of a single man though I would not want to try that theory out.
Speaking of mines the Germans in WWII got onto the Flail tanks setting off the teller mines what they did was have a initiator type set up hooked to a teller mine about the right distance back so as to explode under the tank when the flail hit the initiator.

What bit of kit exactly does the second man have, behind the man with the detector? Is it just a metal probe or something else?

A mine probe. Just a very sharp metal spike with a several piece joined handle, and a pistol grip. It's just for poking... Here's one version.

Not quite the clown show I'd use for mine detection. I have a feeling a bit less than stated is going on.

Ok thanks, Jim.
Didn't the British
mine detector case include a spike bayonet and entrenching tool shaft for mine probing purposes?
