What? You are full of bs? Is that what you are saying? Ok..I won't argue.

Metal Analyzer, Alloy Analyzer, Metal Tester, Portable Metal Spectrometer, Handheld Metal Testing Equipment for Metals & Alloys Analysis: XRF guns from Bruker Elemental

They work pretty cool. Shoots electrons at the material and bounces them back to the gun and determines the material composition by how fast the electrons are bounced back. Gets most metals accurate within 3%. Used it many times. The one I use costs about $20k and you can plug it into a computer to print the readout. Takes about 10 seconds.
