   What is the physical limitation that prevents a very big metal detector from telling us if there’s gold or other signatures?

      This is a good question and there is a real practical answer. The tomb is not in a Pyramid but deep in a mountain reachable by a narrow stairway. You'd have to cut away or dig through the mountain to come close enough for a metal detector.

         Or just stand on the other side of the wall?
