Saw a video that discussed the worst thing you can say to a metals dealer is "how do I know this is real?" Excellent business expense.

I use XRF guns in an industrial setting for PMI. It makes sense it would be used for precious metals (although I never considered that).

I've also had to track it's use when I was a Radiation Safety Officer. I assume this one uses a radioactive source.

Very valid reason not to be posted in the pistols or long guns sections. Congrats on the new tool.

I think that would look great in a shoulder holster!

What was the waiting period? LOL. I didn’t even know something like that existed. The things you learn on SIGforum.

That’s pretty awesome. Congrats on business being so good that you are able to justify and make the purchase.

Speaking of high dollar, my kid asking me about how good are Holland & Holland rifle and I said go on gunbroker and see what used beaters go for. Then I said If I win the 1.4 Billion lotto we’re flying to England to get sized and fitted for custom bespoke H&H rifles and shotguns.

Does it function on dental work too?? Maybe a side business for people wanting to capitalize on their gold teeth! Big Grin



If you like religion, laws or sausage, then you shouldn't watch them being made.

absolutely! I had a client bring in a shoe box full of teeth. I'll spare you the detail of the fumes that came out. But by the time we were done, we wrote a check for almost $40k!

I've used them a bit at work. Awesome tool for metal ID.

Twenty grand? I was thinking maybe a gattling gun or similar.

That is pretty cool. I can see it in your business.
