Soil profiles can vary widely. Your best bet is to contact your local Mongolian agricultural department or department of natural resources and purchase a soil map. If you can read Russian, a soil map can be found here-

Once you are at site, clues to the extent of mineralization can be gleaned by talking to farmers in the area (if any) and observing the vegetation for any nutritional deficiencies/heavy metal poisoning.

Hello
Now please correct me if I'm wrong.Wouldn't highly mineralized soil stick to a magnet?.If so then that would be an easy way to check the soil. If I'm wrong please forgive my ignorance...

Not all mineralization is in the form of magnetic materials.

It could be in the form of Salts, Alkali or other metallic minerals.

If your machine has Manual Ground Balance, you should be good to go.   

Australia has some of the worst in the world.

I've seen a few spots here in New Mexico that a detector could just barely function due to Iron Minerals in the ground. And NO you can't just use Iron Discrimination.  LOL!

If you are going to use a metal detector then the Whites GMT and the MXTs have a meter that will tell you

also dont forget the fisher F75 also has a meter that will tell you how bad the soil is.
