[QUOTE="Heatho, post: 354972, member: 487"] G'day Templeton and welcome to the forum. So you have had veterinary testing and confirmed it is lead poisoning? How long have you owned the property and do you know what it was formerly used for? How long have your cattle been sick and dying? How are you already finding the fragments? Some of the gold detectors we prospectors and fossickers use are extremely sensitive and can find metal fragments to down under 50 milligrams. Though, if there are too many and they are too small it is likely that your property has been contaminated quite severely, sorry to say. Maybe the best remediation might actually be to bulldoze the entire pastures and remove the soil until it is clean, which would be very expensive. 100 acres is a very large area to metal detect and remove every metal fragment, it could take many many years and there would still be metal in the ground. This is very unfortunate to hear mate, sorry. [/QUOTE]
