1dave I've been looking at the Bruker Tracer 5 .... watched a paleontologist student using one in a trench analyzing soil profiles. Seemed to do a really good job in the field.

Watched some surveying done by prospectors on surface rocks and again it appeared to give a good assay on the spot.

I see this model runs about $4200 to $5200 +/- ... could pay for itself in one lucky day.

Myself, I am wanting to look at some potential REE concentrates bearing ground.

Thanks for helping me research this equipment.

1dave I like Ernest Tubb and miss Bill Monroe and Earl Scruggs too...

We are all right behind you somewhere along the path of life.

I believe these portable XRF scanners could be mighty useful for many purposes.

Take care Dave, and a big thanks again for your help and for the many useful articles you publish.
