I'm staying out of this mostly 'coz I don't have the expertise in 
modern sensors to speculate on future sensors.	This isn't stopping 
some people, but I ain't trying to add to the noise ratio.

But since I've been asked, mines range from 74g(2.37oz) for the PFM-1 
Scatterable Antipersonel Mine made by the FSU, to 13.6kg (30lbs) for 
the MK-7 Antitank Mine made by the UK and the M-15 Heavy Antitank Mine 
made by the US.

Further consideration:	Caseings for the PMD-6 family of AP mines are 
wooden.  Go ahead and set your detector dohicky to detect stuff the 
density of WOOD.
