The words usually associated with German minefields are 'Achtung - Minen', but I'm not a language scholar and they may not be grammatically correct.

Normally the signs said "Achtung Minen" or small yellow triangular flags with a skull on.

Achtung Minen !
Don't care about the shield, during late-war-period there was no standardisation.
Maybe you do a wooden shield and some colored flags ?

sorry for double-posting ...
"Minen !" or "Vorsicht Minen" will also do
