A mine prodder is a tool primarily used for safely probing the ground to detect buried mines or explosive devices. It's designed to be a lightweight, man-portable tool, often adjustable in length for different terrain and operator positions. These tools are commonly made of heavy steel with a nickel coating or non-metallic materials to avoid accidental triggering of mines due to magnetism. The prodder should be sturdy and have tapered tip to prevent damage from hard object during insertion
| Material | Mine prodders are typically made of heavy steel, often with a nickel coating, or non-metallic materials like composite or plastic. The material choice is crucial for safety, especially in areas where magnetic materials might trigger mines |
| Sharp Tip | One end of the prodder features a sharp, pointed end designed for probing the soil and identifying buried objects. |
| Rubber Grip | The other end of the prodder is equipped with a shock-proof rubber grip for a secure hold and to minimize the risk of transmitting shocks from the prodder to the operator. |
| Length and Versatility | Many mine prodders are designed to be adjustable in length, allowing the operator to use them effectively in various positions, such as standing, crouching, or prone. |
| Storage and Portability | Some mine prodders come with storage bags or carrying cases, often with shoulder and hand straps, for easy transportation and protection. |
