What type of mines did the Confederates use in the US Civil War?
ChuckSiata
The Confederates used two types of mines, they were either self acting ones or ones controlled as Samuel Colt had experimented with. The self acting mines exploded on contact when a vessels hull came into contact with it. The controlled mines were set off from shore by a concealed observer. When a targeted Union vessel came close to the mine's location, a switch was clicked on and the mine exploded. Most of the Confederate mines were of the self acting types.
