#1 Drop a bomb in the middle and they'll scatter, hopefully taking care of the leftover mines in the process.

#2 carpeted with mines
Some long time ago I remember seeing some thermal imaging predictive analysis for mine placement. Older technology in a different landscape warmed up slower and retained a heat signature longer than the local soils. Placement protocol templates were also often used to optimize coverage.

Now the materials have changed and the landscape of interest is simply too hot for differential measurement. Pattern analysis fails because the mines are randomly placed or have migrated over the years due to surface conditions.

Imaging surface density properties with minidrone sensors and an airborne illuminator continues to hold some promise.
