I answer only because i just started playing mines, and i love it!

From what i understand: you press the button to throw the mines, in the general direction of monsters/wherever you want.

Then you press ONCE D to detonate, and they will detonate from the "oldest" (i.e. the first you threw) to the newest, with increasing speed. The first couple may seem "slow" in detonating (you can modify it via skill tree passives) but once the "detonation chain" starts, it speeds up very fast.

Note: from what i gather in my experiments, mines have to be within a certain radius from each other to be part of the "detonation chain", if they are too spread apart, some may detonate while others may not.

they will detonate from the "oldest" (i.e. the first you threw) to the newest

Throwing order has no effect on detonation sequence. The first one to detonate will be the closest to where you targeted the detonate mines skill, and it will "spread" from there to another mine close to that one.

Forum thread just says " This support gem causes skills to fire wand and bow skill projectiles sequentially ". Sounded to me more like an general support gem rather then an attack-based.

"Wand and Bow skills" are inherently attacks. Spells do not use weapons.

Thanks for the clarification Mark!

So if my "oldest mine" is also the furthest, does it mean that there is a chance the mine will deactivate before the explosion chain reaches it, in case i begin detonating mines that are closer to me/the enemy?

If it's duration runs out before the detaonations reach it, then yes.
