==========================================

Shakey, I held a pricey hand held analyzer at an AGM 2 years ago.

A very cool device.

Looks like a space age gun.

I asked the salesman at the booth the price tag of what I was holding, he said,

"this model is a bit over $40,000."

I said , "wow."

These devices are very accurate. The manufacturer states"

"The confidence of lab analysis is in your hand - anywhere, anytime!"

Here's a link below with some info. (My thinking is ....the excitement occured ....when the gun was pointed.... at site.)
