Unfortunately, it is highly unlikely that you could devise a 
gravity meter that could measure such minute variations in the local
field. Current field gravity meters may be able to detect a 
salt dome of several thousand metric tons after many corrections
(usually free-air, Bouguer, topological and tidal). Mines - no way.

If you were to measure such small variations, you would have to get 
very close to the mines (probably on the order of centimeters), at
which point you would be in the middle of the mine field...
