OK - firstly I'm not a chemist. My reason for querying this line of discussion is because this is the Remote Sensing forum, and I'm not sure whether this has any relevence to LRLs. Correct me if I'm wrong, but I thought this whole subject of gold ions was triggered by the very idea of longtime gold emitting gold ions into the atmosphere, and that these gold ions could be detected and characterized from a distance of a mile or even more. Whether trace elements of gold are detectable in lab tests involving samples of top soil have any merit, I am not qualified to comment. I know someone who is a distinguished chemist, and I will certainly ask him when I next have the opportunity.
