Abstract

The article reports on chemical prospecting, and the instruments carried by the prospector in the process of geochemical prospecting. In addition to the Geiger counter used by prospectors, test tubes and plastic bottles filled with chemicals are also being used by prospectors which can detect the traces of metal which surround a hidden body of ore.
