Default Land Mines

While at Dak To (I think) the road was dirt and most mornings a squad of guys followed by a tank would walk the road and every once in awhile they would stop and start digging and pull up some thing out of the road. Then continue on. About a week before I left Dak To? They black topped the road, The VC still put mines in the road, but it was easy to spot a fresh dug area in a blacktop road. I was viewing this from my trusty 60 bunker.(home)
I don't recall seeing a APC hit a mine, but I did see a tank run over one, I guess it was a small one cuss it sent a big ball of dirt in the air, the tank kinda shifted a little and drove off uninjured.
