Could this help detect landmines?

  Yes, if you scale down the antenna/coil (and the aerial vehicle). https://www.smithsonianmag.com/innovation/a-ukrainian-teenager-invents-a-drone-that-can-detect-land-mines-180980826/ https://www.smithsonianmag.com/innovation/a-ukrainian-teenag...

  this particular rig is too lo-res for that. you need a different detector setup, and slower closer flight.

    I wonder if drones could be used for this then?

      A spinout from my university, UMag Solutions is detecting UXO and mines in Ukraine using special drone-mounted magnetometers.

      They can and they are. For instance: https://sensysmagnetometer.com/products/magdrone-r4-magnetometer-for-drone/ https://sensysmagnetometer.com/products/magdrone-r4-magnetom... https://sensysmagnetometer.com/unexploded-ordnance-uxo/ https://sensysmagnetometer.com/unexploded-ordnance-uxo/

  You could use this: https://sensysmagnetometer.com/products/magdrone-r4-magnetometer-for-drone/ https://sensysmagnetometer.com/products/magdrone-r4-magnetom... We have the little version of this sensor. It's quite interesting.
