However mercury amalgamation is still regularly used by small-scale gold placer miners (often illegally) & particularly in developing countries. Mercury salts are, compared to mercury metal and amalgams, highly toxic due to their solubility in water. The presence of these salts in water can be detected with a probe that uses the readiness of mercury ions to form an amalgam
