Your videos are so fascinating!! I have learned so much about radioactivity from your channel! I also learned about uranium glass for the first time from one of your videos! And I actually have owned a piece of green depression glass for 10 years and never knew it was radioactive!! Thank you so much for taking the time to make these videos... I have literally spent hours learning from them :)

Nice! Something really interesting that's from my country!

Did you check it under black light UV? I kinda doubt it but may have specks of other U-stuff which glows.

could you take a white Fiestaware dissolve and hydrochloric acid to take what's left dissolve in Nitric and sulfuric acid and then get thorium nitrate and take what is left and do a displacement reaction with lithium to get thorium metal

cool looking samples

In Finland next to Sweden we have very old bedrock (3billion yo) which contains 4ppm (mg/kg) uranium. Therefore you can find low acticity rocks just in your backyard.

Does it fluoresce under UV light?

I was extremely lucky recently: I found three vials of Radium glow paint from 1948. Man, they are killer! (also literally)

@Malcolm Jones no.

whats the price range for gamma spectrometers? Ive poked around the internet for them a bit and didn't really turn up anything reliable for pricing.

Expensive, $2000 to $10,000. They can be made for less than $1000 by buying a NaI-PMT detector and making the electronics (HV supply, preamp, counting circuits) yurself if you are an electronics engineer. Not easy, though.

How is a gamma spectrometer picking up alpha (He nucleus) and beta (electron) radiation?

Most beta decay is accompanied by some gamma emissions as a kind of energy-mass correction to the decay equation.

You should come to Sweden again!

I've gotten minerals like very rich Pitchblende from Pribram Cz over 367,000 CPM on my SEI Inspector USB

Uranioactive! 😂

Combat .45 how about bismuactive, or polonioacive, Astatinactive, Radonactive, franciumactive, Actineactive, Thoriumactive, proactiniuactive neptunioactive and don't forget plutoniumactive, Tecneciumactive Americiumactive, curiumactive, berkeliumactive and promeciactive.

Hey Tom, I have a few items that I would like to send you. But I can't find an email address... What's the best way to contact you?

Bismuth is radioactive but has a very very very very long half life

Bi-208 the stable isotope, yes. But Bi-214 is a decay product of uranium and is a strong emitter of high-energy gamma radiation. Depends on which isotope you are talking about!

I got some thorite from Thailand and it's pretty hot, like 2k cpm with only a beta/gama tube

just found some in un'goro crater too...

...are those radiation burns on his hands? All the tiny sores looks like he might be playing too much with too fun of stuff. Not the thorium obviously, but other things.

That's most unfortunate. In Canada we can possess 10 kg of radioactive ore per year (the per year thing is to stop people from dealing/exchanging). On the other hand, we're limited to only 5 radioactive dials/clocks, outside of a vintage aircraft with its instruments. We are also allowed to possess small amounts of basically every isotope (even some that will surprise you). See Schedule 1 of Nuclear Substances and Radiation Devices Regulations. I think our regulations are sane and encourage education; I feel bad for those in other countries.

my big suffering tabac and smoking ..

Nice sample but it's not very hot. I bet you would have preferred 30,000 cpm?

Bismuth is more beautiful than gold or silver.

I get the feeling you’re in high school. 👍 keep it up.

spare us your poor taste in humor
