Dear Jack9, You stated that Mineseeker had done nothing since 2000?
Have a look at the latest video. It states that the trial in Croatia was in 2010, plus the kit has been reduced in size and weight since the 2000 trial too, all indicated on the mineseeker website video.
Trials of the tech was succesfully completed in Oct 2010. There must have been huge investment from somewhere to minutuarise and improve the original technology substanstantially to an operational level. The tech was given to the Foundation (not Mineseeker Ops) by the British military who had already invested 300m pounds. Considering Gruman and them are investing over $50m in similiar tech speaks volumes for what MS has achieved in a private capacity.
