I work with IR. Materials with no heat source will quickly reach ambient temperature and provide no image at all.

The trick is to rent the metal detectors. These billionaire left a pile of gold stories are just ways to try and create some tourist dollars.

Dry arroyos are just about the most dangerous thing there, besides the sun, lack of water, too much water, poisonous plants and animals, large carnivores, haunta virus, plague, drunk indians, democratic government and... what the heck, the whole place is just dangerous.These are the reasons I love NM. Excluding the Dem gov. that is.

Spent 5 years in NM.
Would not return to live - not after living in CA!
Have some grandsons, with detection equipment in nearby CO, who might figure this out.

I watched that movie a few weeks ago.
It was great. Talk about a cast of who’s who in old Hollywood. Yowza..!
I think that movie was in the theaters when JFK got shot.
