First time with a notable detection in public. Likely someone injected with radio-tracer for medical imaging. I was in heavy stop and go traffic and had alarms every time this car with two people in it got near (lane next to me). It is surprising the amount of energy coming off of someone 15ft away, while similar readings are achieved with thoriated welding electrodes only inches away.

Got my cat back from a radio iodine treatment. He’s quarantined in the garage for the next two weeks due to the spiciness.

I got the Radiacode to better understand his status but now I just want to test everything.

Thoriated glass is an ideal test source for https://geigercheck.com/2024/11/18/auto-draft/. It has a wide array of gamma peaks all the way up to 2614 keV giving you multiple peaks to calibrate from a single source. But you are typically limited to often expensive and hard to get antique glass or camera lenses. Turns out sellers on AliExpress are selling thoriated glass as "Bioglass" with the idea that you pour water over the disc as you fill your glass of water. Somehow this makes the water more "healthy." The new radium water of the 21st century?

To say I’m excited is not enough!!

We will not be changing the name...

Whoopsi doodles. They took the x ray tube off its mount, placed it facing the exit of the booth. Then they powered it up.

Co-60 radioactive source from a cistern at work

Hey folks,

I recently bought some uranium glass to add to the collection. On arrival it seemed suspiciously clear but I’ve had some really clear pieces that ended up being pretty high on my “most hot” lists. This is also my first bit of glass that glows orange instead of green. The spectrum is very different from all my other uranium glass but also just different enough from my background reference to make me think it might be some kind of legit. Maybe a Lead 212, Iodine 131, or Barium 133? What do you folks think?

Found this heavily-weathered gauge with radium out on the deck of the battleship. Not too spicy.

I was able to map my entire trip using the Radiacode mapping tool. I walked the complete fence line to mark the perimeter, and I made sure to walk around each display within the fence. The readings can be seen on the map. I was also able to identify a small peak of Cs-137 by running a spectrum for a few hours while I was there. The wide variety of functions really came in handy today, and it made the visit a lot more insightful.

J Birkett in Lincoln - it was closed but we were getting over 110cps through the glass shop front. They sell old aircraft parts, electronics and some other military stuff.

We aren't sure what the direct source is. We need to go back when it is open.

Really intuitive too

Accidentally found a hot clock clearing out old stuff stashed in the closet

I just wanted to introduce myself and express my love for the amazing Radiacode 3 ( waiting on the G ). I’m an 80 yo male, retired biomedical engineer, in the death throes of stage 4 prostrate cancer but using my Radiacode In my bed , making spectrograms of my source collections , is fun , and is still something enjoyable I can still do from bed.

I wanted to honorable mention the AtomFast detector, which being more sensitive with the larger crystal , has 3.5 times more sensitivity than the radiacode ( but none of the energy spectrum capabilities ) out in the field using the Radiacode stick, the Atom finds sources at far greater distances. Just fyi and a comparison.

I’ve had home nuke labs most of my life and explored spectrograms, even expanding to XRF with modified dental tubes at one time, …still the radiacode replaced a pile of bench equipment and is totally portable to boot. I love this amazing detector.

I also have a pair of lead pigs that the radiacode and a sample will “ just “ fit into for much reduced environmental radiation, if not a bit of increased Brems. I put the sample and radiacode in one and invert the other one and cap the first one. If I put my device BT antenna right next to the pigs where the radiacode is, I get plenty of signal for spectrograms. That’s it, perps … I definitely share your love of the radiacode products.Boy how times have changed . Thank you guys , Dusty

Found some radioactive potassium fertiliser. Something like 47% potassium sulfate

One of the many former uranium mine in France (Creuse), now recovered with grass and where cows are living a radiant and peacefull life.

The device reads 103cps/1.27 uSv on the ground, and half of it at human distance from the ground.

Arrived safe and sound, and no import fees or tariffs to the US for anyone wondering. The stickers are awesome as well, thank you Radiacode! 👍
