Sure there are - that's what mass detectors do. You have to compute the relativistic effects based on the measured mass, of course, but that's no big deal. We've already got instruments that can pick up a mass of around 50 tons at a distance of a couple of miles, which ought to be good enough for even really picky measurements.
