Shure you can detect such mines with MDs, if the plastic has a different resistance as the ground, same like cavity. But problems may occure in highly mineralized ground, if the mine clearer won't dig out all mineralic stones.
The idea behind changing from metal to using plastic is so that it is undetectable. Yes the plastic can be detected but how many detectors can a soldier carry.
