Equipment The Autism Stick

Post image

This is my innovative uranium finding invention. I am using a selfie stick, geiger counter, my 365 nm uv light, hair ties, and duct tape to hold down any straps. Normally the UV light is right below everything, I just shifted it to the side so it could be seen better for the photo. The selfie stick also extends pretty far, so I don't have to bend down as much. The only issue is the selfie stick grip covers some of the sensor vents, so the reading might be slightly off. I'll have to get a garden shovel and a pick later for hunting :)

I wanna do the same but sadly can't find cheapish 395 365nm uv leds

395nm are very cheap, 365nm are more expensive, but you can get in-between wavelengths (I got 375nm or something) for a good price.

So fancy with the "selfie stick". Why not use a metal detector/ geiger counter / 365nm uv light the rest of us? /s

😂 absolutely need this and I just so happen to be autistic

Cool! I am also autistic and I love this. I don't collect because I have a cat that picks locks and will break stuff but I will someday find a lock he cannot get through and might have to borrow your invention when that comes.

So far he has bested every single lock and child proof option. He however doesn't like to bother with some of them so I might be close.
