[QUOTE="rc62burke, post: 52073, member: 800"] Hare Their are a number of methods that can be used to identify mineral "Halo's" in a specific area, those being "Geochemical Prospecting" which is used on a large scale very similar to that of which Village described, ph testing can also identify anomalies to follow up further, the use of an XRF device IMHO should not be considered as a "Prospecting" tool as the cost alone is Prohibitive & there are some questionable reports on its accuracy in sampling ore. In "Loaming" there is no substitute for the humble "Gold Pan" remember you are using a tried & proven method developed along time ago & should be using the tools that it was designed to use, nothing saying it cant be improved with modern tech, but fundamentally the "pan" is king for "Loaming", in some way it is paying homage to the old boy's & something we should try to preserve as a part of our culture, IMHO. cheers Lee [/QUOTE]
