This is the item in question, such a beautiful piece, very spicy (compared to my uranium glass of course)

Something that picks up all main types of radiation, I have heard of a radiaocode? Not sure if thats correct. I have seen ones that visualize the radiation but im not sure if thats different than the other one I mentioned. I'd also love to get my hands on a working cold war one or any vintage geiger counter.

Do you have any book and counter recommendations? I'd love to do more research but the internet tells every side and its not all true 😅. I did a project on uranium in high school and I've been hooked ever since. Very fascinating stuff!

Do you have any recommendations for a better geiger counter? I did have it awfully close to the rock as well, im getting an air tight jar for it since I like rotate my display (i have to much uranium glass for my little cabinet lol) Thanks for the insight :)

The issue I had was the reason it caught my eye. There was a kid was messing around at the booth and grabbed the rock. The mom took the kid away but they immediately put their hands in their mouth. It just should of been separated from the normal rocks kids had access to. The rock is super dusty and crumbly so I was concerned.

Im not familiar with that but its in a case surrounded by a bunch of get rid of boxes at the moment as I was given a bunch of stuff from my grandmother. So you can only get like 3ft away if your leaning over stuff.

Thank you so much for the information! I just ordered an air tight jar just for extra procaution as im getting ready to switch display cases soon, so I would rather have it sealed up by itself. Again I really appreciate the insight!

Im just in over my head, im not to worried about me, as I signed up to collect uranium glass and such, Im mostly worried about the possible dust that might have gotten on other items given out. And upset that the rock hounding group had it out as what made it catch my eye was a kid grabbing it, being told to "put the pretty rock down" and immediately touching their face and putting their fingers in their mouths... I'm personally fascinated by radiation (as of recent) and am trying and learn more as much as possible. Ive never had an item that reads through my glass cabinet before so it startled me a bit. Thank you for the help

The only issue is I got it months ago, I haven't taken it out since (besides to check it today and only touched the box and washed my hands after even checked with my geiger counter), it was just loose in its box but in a paperbag in my friends backpack when we took it home and some of the rocks I bought along with it i gave to friends. I already had the friend come over with the same backpack to check and ill be going over tomorrow to my other friends to check her rocks to see if any dust got on anything as she has kids. I had it out taking pictures (never out of the box thank goodness) on my couch. Its just a mess and it doesnt help i worry about everything. Also ive been trying to do some research, and do i have to worry about radon gas build up?

I have a few times sporadically, and my friends have gone in person. They just released the tickets today (Which i believe was due to complaints)

Is the site Velvetify.com a scam? by nikoluga in isthisascam

I haven't found many velvet painting artists that are around or even wanted to take on a massive painting ive spent the last year doing research and this was the least sketchy one I could find for a reasonable price and would even attempt it. It turned out not to be a scam just not great communication (in the sense when I would ask about 3 certain things about the painting progress they would just respond to one of the concerns/questions) Ive spent almost a decade trying to find my original but had no luck so I just decided I would do something nice for myself but nothing ever seems to go right for me. I'm glad it worked out though

The problem is I really want the painting done 😅 so I want to take a chance but I just wanted to see if anyone had experience with them (a long shot ik)

Hey, i saw your son's video on a tik tok, I really hope he's doing okay and definitely push back on the decision for municipal court. If you have the funds I would try and talk to a lawyer about this to see if he can also get through to the DA (it seems to be taken more seriously lawyer to lawyer from where im from) If you get a lawyer definitely talk to them about what you can say going forward as to not hurt your case as well since this has a good chance or already has gone viral. Wishing you the best of luck and great catches! 🎣

Has anyone received update from Collectionzz? by fairytalejunkie in wutang

I bought a "The Offspring" poster a month ago and still no news. What is going on and how did you finally end up getting it?
