<p>[QUOTE="Conder101, post: 3217480, member: 66"]Well that confirms what I thought from another report, the XRF guns penetrate the tested object to a depth of about twice the thickness of the plating. I need to run the numbers again but I believe the plating on a cent is about .0002 inches. So the gun doesn't read strictly surface, but they don't tell you anything about the interior and could be fooled completely by a thick plating.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
