Large vehicles for de-mining anti-personnel mine fields are available commercially and have been used in such places a Mozambique. I saw one at a counter-mine conference in CA, it was about twice the size of a Chevy suburban, heavily armored, and could switch from rubber tires(for road transport) to sprung steel wheels. There was a video of it being used in an anti-personnel field, which was really something. One anti-tank mine in the mix though would ruin the crews day.

Why is a crew needed? I'm sure anti-mine vehicles could be designed to be operated by remote control. I'll bet Radio Shack would be glad to help with the technology.
