Anyone interested in getting a Geiger Radiation Meter for checking your lume?
A local school is being liquidated and they have 4 Geigers on auction - current bid is $71

I bought one of those portable iphone smart Geiger devices that connect to the microphone input. It seems to work pretty well.

Here is a reading for one of my radium lumed watches.

hi mel, i mean to say industrial type geiger counters would attract attention through customs.

the small iphone type geiger counter is ok.

a search on ebay turns up lots of geiger counters.
