Simon Do You Have One Of These?

A magnetometer can detect (non-ferromagnetic) gold and silver?

They are pretty useful for large scale big picture type stuff. Last year we hired out a company that does these to fly magnetic drone surveys on a commercial project I am involved with. I own the initial claims. It's now 130+ claims. Drone mapping allows us to cover a quite extensive area and get a good idea what is buried and where to concentrate future soil and outcrop sampling efforts.

I am limited in what I can say, but this is from a public press release so this is already public and shows how you can concentrate prospecting efforts in specific places in the large scale with mag surveys. The drone surveys are only flown at 100ft or so and so resolution is high.

I know the initial post is tongue in cheek, but there may actually be some good use for flying magnetic drone surveys for prospectors who are targetting buried hard rock trends. I would love a little magnetometer that hooks up to my Mavic Pro, flies a preprogrammed grid, and outputs a nice chart like the one below.
