Radioactive Vintage Watches

While exploring a flea market, I used my Radiacode detector to uncover radium-226 in several vintage watches. It’s fascinating to see how radium paint was used in the early 20th century for its luminous properties. These watches once glowed in the dark, thanks to the radioactive paint.
Radium-226 was widely used before its health risks were fully understood. Today, these vintage items tell a story of scientific discovery and historical practices. Keep a radiation detector handy to uncover the hidden stories of antiques and learn about the past in a unique way!

现在的手表还用不用这种荧光剂？

现在使用了其他放射性物质，更安全的氚。不过，旧款的钟表仍然可以在古董店里找到。
