An apparatus for and method of detonating unexploded mines is disclosed. A ground-engaging foot (14, 59, 80, 96, 105) is caused to reciprocate by power means with sufficient force to activate an unexploded mine. Control means is used to control the manner of reciprocation of the foot by controlling the power applied to the foot. A shock absorption arrangement (10, 67, 75, Figure 9) absorbs shock energy created upon detonation of an unexploding mine. Preferably the apparatus is vehicle mounted (figure 6) for example upon a remotely controlled tracked vehicle.
