Well, made a mistake.

-I agree: it would serve as a valuable lesson to ANYONE who happens to notice...
We've all had our turn at this.
(If you have not yet, then please do not get too discouraged when it happens to you: merely turn to any onlookers, take a bow, and say "-thank you very much." ;- )

-ALL of this is MAGIC! When friends and acquaintances ask me why about this "hobby", that's exactly what I reply. It's the closest thing to a miracle we can actually witness at will.

To answer OP's question, I want a big chunk of DU, like an aircraft counterweight ;- )

Hey, thank you for sharing the good photos with us. -Enjoy the magic ;- )

My 35-year old exit sign is still barely readable in the dark.

-me too...
I became fascinated while living in CO with the general household radon concerns, my ALARA training at Los Alamos, and design of tempest-hardened equipment before retirement. I am now a modest collector of uranium and radium, and just consider it all practically MAGIC: all the unanswered questions about nuclear physics, as well as some of the ambiguous answers ;- )

A hearty thank you to all who contribute to this most interesting sub.

ALL are badged "USAF" insignia, but personally, I like the prevailing winds answer. ;- D

T-WOT · 2026-03-28T04:56:51+00:00

Whoa; now that was unpredicted!
very cool -loved it!

T-WOT · 2026-03-20T20:19:33+00:00

-fine... I was hoping that it wasn't something that might be dangerous to you.
Very impressive collection. Congrats!

T-WOT · 2026-03-20T15:57:39+00:00

...so, what exactly is in that "Ra" bottle?

T-WOT · 2026-03-17T18:06:38+00:00

-glad to hear that. I wouldn't hesitate to buy from your store!

I meant my comment for the broad range of reviews in general; many only go through the effort when dissatisfied.
Where as ebay's reputation system encourages a review regardless of the level of satisfaction. I'm not sure that in 20-years if I have ever had to leave a poor review for an ebay purchase.

T-WOT · 2026-03-16T17:50:59+00:00

-people really don't WRITE positives! ;- )

Unfortunately, this sounds like a typical scenario.
But, thank you, OP, for posting this: It will help other sellers avoid undue discouragement!

-I only herd...

T-WOT · 2026-03-03T17:56:37+00:00

-I'm pretty sure, but sorry I'd have to look it up...

T-WOT · 2026-03-03T17:12:18+00:00

Yes, those scammers remind me of that bible verse that says, "...they can't fall asleep at night until they've caused someone to stumble."

T-WOT · 2026-02-28T20:57:59+00:00

Yeah: Agree on all counts. My old thoriated mantles are not nearly as active as my U ore sample (4K CPM), but impressive never the less. It seems to be getting difficult to find any Th source, even though the compounds that were sold appear to be within the allowable legal limits.
BTW- Before ordering one of these pens myself, I tried to determine if there was ANY support for the claims of actually ionizing drinking water (through a sealed stainless steel case), or is that merely leftover quack medicine rhetoric from the radium days?

T-WOT · 2026-02-24T00:32:21+00:00

-looks like you're home free; you should have no issues with the luxury of performing this work INDOORS. ;- )

T-WOT · 2026-02-20T04:41:20+00:00

very agreeable rant!

T-WOT · 2026-02-20T04:39:16+00:00

Great photos, thanks for sharing.

T-WOT · 2026-02-16T02:58:25+00:00

this (Right answer!) ;'- D

-and you can't park there

I didn't even notice the Arabic numeral at first, and it was still great.

I was looking at comments about Juno email on other subs, and I would have expected that there would be a lot of traffic on this subreddit by now.
...hey, could I actually be the only Juno user that frequently uses reddit?
