At work we have a oxigen sensor that measures air quality. It measures harmful air contents. To my knowledge (very limited) when you discover gold buried over 10 yrs it somehow has toxic contect which maybe could be measured by one of this sensors as you go over it.

Can anyone tell me if it is possible? Or maybe workable?

Charlie is right. The idea that long-time buried gold develops a gas or an aura or some other mysterious signature is make-believe.

I don't know. either.

My thoughts is to talk with someone who knows about air testing. maybe the company that built the sensor. Wouldn't spend much time or money on it.

You are very right! From when i was 5 always heard the old people talk about the color of fire telling you if it was silver or gold. Also how if you are greedy the gold will move to a different location. Thanks for your comment.

My dads cousin tied a pig to a mesquite tree and it had rained the previous day. The pig dug out a box with 20 gold bars. My dads cousin killed n eat the pig so he wouldnt help anyone else. Still at least 15 boxes to be found. My dads cousin showd him the gold bars. Every 2 yrs i take a shot al finding one of the boxes.

Gold, atomic sign AU, is an inert metal. It is often mixed with small amounts of silver and sometimes copper, but these are bonded atomically to the gold. Gold, as an inert metal will not give off any fumes, auras or any other such thing.

Now arsenic, that's a different story.
