OP Dear JH: All steel has some magnetic properties. I know it is possible to make a magnet, e.g. by holding a steel of iron bar aligned with the magnetic field, and hitting the end with a hammer. I can imagine that the hull of a ship might become irregularly magnetized. Then a magnetic mine as ship passed would detect a fairly rapidly fluctuating magnetic field. Any chance that this is what the magnetic mine would be triggered by?
