Military Use of Metal Detectors?

[SaginawIan]

I saw a picture of a soldier using a metal detector in Iraq and it got me curious as to what they might use them for and what brand detector they use. I'm guessing for land mines or something. Does anyone know?

Major network had a program on in last 2 months about
some problems in real estate industry. One story covered
a whole neighborhood in or around Arlington, Texas that
was built over a bombing range. The people who moved
in to their brand new houses - started to find unexploded
Ordnances right in their yards. Eventually the military had
to come in and sweep the whole area. They showed
military personnel in action looking for these small
practice bombs, and they were using Minelabs.
