I'm not allowed to post pictures.

It's the little circle with a dot in the middle. I mostly see them next to anchor icons, but sometimes they're by themselves and sometimes anchor icons don't have them.

They look like this: ⦿

Thanks in advance

I think it's ten posts, but reply to this and rustysi's a few times each and you should be near good to go.

Yeah, I always thought it maybe an oversight that the page in the manual that explains map icons neglects to tell you there is a minefield right there in the picture.

One thing you might run into is varying colours for the mine symbol. By shifting the map view left and right I have seen a minefield symbol use every country colour in the game. It might be an anomaly related to need for a restart to fix bleeding memory issues.
It can be disconcerting to see an enemy coloured minefield on one of your ports, assume it was laid by a sub, and spend several turns trying to sweep it!
