I once read that during WW2, German tank crews in North Africa would drive over camel dung piles (for luck?), so the Allies started making AT-mines that looked like dung piles. And when the Germans found out and started only driving over piles that had already been driven over, the Allies made driven-over-dung-piles AT-mines

I'm not checking, though, so the whole story might be camel dung
