There is a UV spectrometer that uses polarized light. It's not Mossbauer. I forget the name. It was used to detect mercury in fish. Portable units could be battery operated. Another way is to hang the fish by the gills in a freezer and test the tails as the mercury all ended up there.

<< .....his ability to see gold is due to Au's excellent thermal conductivity, making those golden chunk just a little cooler than the blood perfusing adjacent tissue. >> Thank you for spelling things out for E. He does get confused from time to time (...to time to time). Your theory makes perfect sense. It becomes much easier to see the gold whenever they are having a cold drink. If they drink something warm, the metals disappear completely (sort of like with Bre-X). Now maybe you could 'splain to E. that I don't use a Walkman, I don't need a hearing aid and that Columbian coffee is not the least bit strong. Zeev, you seem rather intelligent for a turnip truck driver. Particularly one being handicapped by those degrees and all. ;-) Roger
