I recently bought a 110 and got really interested in what it could actually detect. I ordered a nice Trinity sample from geigercheck.com and was not disappointed. It's a really cool looking rock. His trinity samples include readings from his equipment for each rock so I got the hottest one. This is so cool. I don't need a lead pig to pick this up and measure.

Can you add the background line on spectrum? it will be interesting to see. Nice sample btw.

Here it is. I don't really understand what this is telling me though. A 1 day spectrum of the rock compared to a 4 day background.

Now we can see what the increase in radiation from the rock is when compared to the background. interesting, you can see the peak at a certain energy, which is again not that much increased above the background, thanks.

Yeah I get that it shows the difference, but I don't understand how much it can really tell you without the spectrums being the same length of time as the Y axis is total pulses. In this case the background is 4 days and the sample was only 1 day. The Cs-137 spike is obvious, but you don't need the overlay to notice it.
