The flying ones can use thermal cameras. The mines and surrounding areas change temperature differently.

Then the ground ones do the actual demining.

But this only works for mines not or only lightly covered by earth I assume?

There has been lots of rain falling from the sky, moving earth, since the mines were laid.
