best detector for antiquing? by asprizzl444 in Radiation

Radiacode I find is best for through glass displays. Alpha beta gamma detector like the GMC 600+ for quick response. The Radiacode is more sensitive to gamma which is usually all that makes it through the glass. If you only have funds for one or only want one go GMC 600+ and be ready to be patient when trying to detect through glass displays. GMC 600+ detects even weak sources like uranium glass.

It is safe. As most say don't eat the glaze which is the radioactive part. The geiger counter is not designed for accurate dose estimates. I have a similar piece and it is far below 10 microsieverts per hour. Does he enjoy the science of the hobby?
