They have handheld XRF analyzers nowadays. They cost around $20k.

Huh, impressive - I guess I'm out of date (and/or the people I listen to about such things have a working XRF already and don't want to replace a working unit).

You can get a used one for like 3k. I don't really need it but I have it on my santa's list for ages already. One day he will deliver I hope
