==========================================
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.)
