    Where to get alloy assay

    My google-fu is coming up short. Does anybody on the forum have he ability to do an xrf assay on samples of alloy? What does it typically cost to get them run? Would I just ladle out a thin little splatter and mail it off or? Thanks in advance for the education.

    there is a member on here that does them, I think BNE? I believe the deal was he charges 1lb of lead for each sample scanned, just send a small thumbnail sized piece.
    My feedback page if you feel inclined to add:

    Check the date of the post. Might send a PM to see if he has time to still provide this service. He has been very busy with his work. Good luck. He has been a wonderful help to many of us.
