From the web:

"There is no "resonant frequency" of gold. Gold does have an NMR frequency, which is 1.729MHz. All NMR frequencies are dependent on the ambient magnetic field, and gold's 1.729MHz is valid for a magnetic field of 2.35 Teslas, which is 45,000 times stronger than a typical Earth field strength. But there is no resonant frequency which, if you broadcast it, will cause gold to resonate."

FYI, if you walk into close range of a 2.0 Tesla magnetic field, any metal in your body is going to get ripped out. Also, that magnet will weigh in the neighborhood of 15,000 lbs.
I like it. Load that bad boy up and lets go fishing!

Ya know, it's a cool idea, but there are a few ...issues that may occur.

It's an electromagnet, so we'll need to haul a pretty good sized generator along with us, as well as a small crane to set the magnet off the trailer bed and onto the ground.

Once we do fire that bad boy up, I suspect any rock, boulder, pebble with iron in it is going to become an airborne projectile, so it might be best if we stayed back some distance.

Assembler: We vote you to be the most technical of us, so you get the honor of going into the field and taking the measurements.

However that much force is not with me........:laughing7:........just may get to close to a few electrons.

There is little need for the generator of electricity as nature can provide the electromagnet that is much larger.
 

Okay..you say...fish on?

I wonder if there is a single individual (out of the roughly 150k members on TNet) that can explain this "fish" to us, in English. A PhD. in physics is required. I know a guy, but he gets $350 an hr. for consulting.

Anyone is welcome to chime in.

In NMR spectroscopy, receptivity refers to the relative detectability of a particular element.

phusikḗ which means "natural science".

Good luck with 'the fish is on'.
 

I believe you may find this article of interest. Note that in the chart the Nucleus column contains elements like Boron, Sodium, Aluminum, etc. but does not contain any precious metals. One would think that the absence of precious metals likely means this process may not be effective in identifying them.


This second article describes how/why the NMRS process has not been used for gold, however there may be some hope for silver.

Thank you for pointing out the elements such as common Boron, Sodium, Aluminum as an foundation reaction to look for. Anything out of the norm could be a trace to look for.
 

Anyone look at the compound Krennerite?
Maybe other tellurides?

Calaverite, or gold telluride, is an uncommon telluride of gold, a metallic mineral with the chemical formula AuTe2, with approximately 3% of the gold replaced by silver. It was first discovered in Calaveras County, California in 1861, and was named for the county in 1868.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Calaverite

Sylvanite or silver gold telluride, chemical formula (Ag,Au)Te2, is the most common telluride of gold.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sylvanite

Krennerite is an orthorhombic gold telluride mineral which can contain variable amounts of silver in the structure. The formula is AuTe2, but specimen with gold substituted by up to 24% with silver have been found ([Au0.77Ag0.24]Te2)
