Assuming you mean MINE in the sense of an explosive weapon, and not removing a mineral from the earth-
There were two major types of mines- Naval and Land. Naval mines were floated at sea, anchored to hold them in place, and exploded with brushed by a ship. By WW II, the fuse had changed to a magnetic fuse that would explode when a steel hulled ship passed close to it.
Land mines have been used in war since the 1200s, and were used by most WW I combatants. They might be used to protect a flank from infiltrators, or to channel attackers into a fire zone. The used a fuse that exploded the mine when you stepped on it. The introduction of tanks also brought larger anti-tank mines, intended to break the track of a tank, immobilizing it. Some land mines were filled with chemical warfare agents, such as mustard gas. Detonation produced a cloud of highly toxic gas.
