As far as I know they show on water surface only and German mine-boat can place them ...and they explode.

Those must be the floating contact mines, I think a good amount of magnetic metal was required to explode it.

My Grandfather was on converted trawler minesweeper during WWII. They used to use a cutter cable to surface the mines then use an enfield to shoot at the detonator spikes to blow them up. It used to take forever he said. Later they got a deckgun and they would penetrate the mine and it would usually sink rather than explode.

Just for fun:

Place (in FMB) a line of 10 ~15 mines, one close to next.
Put a ship in course of first mine.
Enjoy the "fireworks" - if you 'putter are able to handle.
