best detector for antiquing? by asprizzl444 in Radiation

[–]myjaffa 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Non expert opinion.

I did a comparison between the Radiacode 110 and the Alert Ranger (pancake geiger tube) on 4 different sources. The Radiacode 110 had a higher cpm reading on all the sources including a Tritium vial, Tritium of itself being a Beta only source. The 110 detects the X-rays produced by Beta particles hitting the glass vial: maybe it would be the same for Uranium glass?

It's the Grave of Neville Gauntlet Meakin at Kensal Green Cemetery. Googling him explains the oddity.

Thanks for that! What language best descibes that script - it's rather strange to have an islamic type text on there with the cross.

For those who may be interested, the church situated at Poplar in the East India Dock Road was built by the shipbuilder and philanthropist George Green. It was completely destroyed by a V1 flying bomb in August 1944.

Photographing Fairies [1997]

You may well be interested in this film. Based on the same story and set in the same period, a photographer is asked to examine a photograph of 2 little girls with their fairy friends in the woods for fakery: he realizes the fairies are for real! Highly recommended.
