LOL My original intention was to try and isolate a method of determining a method (a bit like the silver and gold tests) that would isolate the correct alloys, and I found one, but i also encounterd a similar problem i.e a Scanning Electron Microscope and an Atomic Absorption Mass Spectrometer, were 100's of K's and arent things you could easily cart to Stockport or Bedford eh?

Shame though.

Default Have Scanning Electron Microscope & Atomic Absorption Mass Spectrometer, will travel

Yes, but imagine the look on certain faces when you come through the door, set up shop, and start scanning. Priceless.
