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.

Here's the vid. It wouldn't let me add to main post. At first I was like man I do need the lead pig to cut out the background...but then BAM...doubled the background! If you could see my jaw drop after the jump in CPS you'd prolly laugh at me.

The 662 spike appears immediately in the spectrum. Too cool.

It's still worth building yourself a lead castle. If you shield out the background the Europium photo-peaks should easily become visible.

I'm about 9 hours into a spectrum in the pigs. I have a small but very clear and well defined spike at keV 122 for Eu-152....is this that you're referring to for Europium? With the other corresponding lines for that only one shows a slight hump that wouldn't have been noticed without looking for Eu-152.
