Hello,
yes, maybe the boat slid along the mine or its cable, until it became entangled or the mine rolled enough to hit the boat with the contact - german U-boat crews also reported such encounters.

Did not think about that because in the animation at the end, the boat moves just straight along a mine without touching it, until the latter explodes when the stern passes. But this animation is most probably wrong then -
