Yes, they began as floating mines in 1861 by the Confederate Navy and evolved into landmines by 1862. A Brigadier General Rains of the Confederate army had troops to prepare artillery shells with trip wires. On May 4 1862 the first man , a horse rider, was killed by a pressure operated landmine. From 1862-63 Rains mines were in wide use by the Confederate army. As a side note in 1960 5 of his mines were found and were still "very dangerous."

Where you can buy landmines?
Nowhere. Landmines are illegal explosive devices in virtually all countries. Private individuals or entities cannot legally acquire landmines. They are available for government (military) procurement and use ONLY. The outer shell of a landmine can sometimes be purchased at various online war-replica artifact stores. You might find demilitarized ones at your local army surplus store. This will include NONE of the explosives, fragmentation, or fuse parts of landmines.
