Abstract

A method and processing machine (60a, 60b) for removing explosive devices from (32) an area of land are taught. The method includes: treating an area of land with a plough (18a, 18) to create a ploughed land area with an exposed ground surface and a ground surface on which a berm (42, 38), containing soil and explosive devices, is deposited by the plough (18a, 18b), processing the berm (42, 38) to substantially remove the explosive devices from the soil and applying pressure to the ground surface of the ploughed land area, the pressure selected to detonate at least some explosive devices in the ploughed land area, and generally exceeding the highest known trigger pressure of the explosive devices at a depth of about 0.5 meters. The processing machine (60a, 60b) is useful for processing earth materials to remove explosive devices therefrom, the processing machine includes an inlet (76) to receive earth materials, processor means (78) to process the earth materials to remove at least some of the unexploded ordinance contained therein, resulting in processed earth materials, and an outlet (79a, 79b) to pass the processed earth materials out of the processing machine.
