Anyone use a laser thermometer?

[Seden]

I've been looking at using one of those non-contact Digital Infrared Thermometers for detecting ore bodies and was wondering if anyone has ever used one? The 30:1 units are in the low $100USD range so much cheaper than a Thermal Imaging Camera and might even be useful for treasure hunting in the fall or spring when there's a larger temperature variation between day and evenings which would be the time to take readings.

What say ye?
