wow that place is actually really beautiful, and the uranium ore just laying on the ground is a nice bonus.
We need more videos like like that
Thank you very much!
My best Radiacode 101
Love the Omega, and great video. Subscribed!
Thank you :)
Really enjoying these videos! Great work.
Thank you!
Nice Footage, thanks for taking us along. Especially nice secondary formations. I didnt had much luck with those. On Eva I spent a whole afternoon. It appears pretty much grazed but walking slowly I found a lot of subtile hot spots. Some good finds.
Didnt visit Barbora. Thought it would be trespassing and might get me in trouble 😅
Thank you for the comment! I had the same impression... Eva is maybe not the best spot to find nice specimen. If you visit on a weekend you can go to the Barbora tailings with no problems whatsoever. I went there on saturday and sunday. When you drive past the site and see no workers you are good to go :)
You be safe bro. Some of those hills looked pretty steep.
Most people think that the uranium is risk number one, but you are correct...breaking your bones is the biggest risk :)
Well I've only watched two of your videos. So it hasn't killed you yet 🤣
man i love your videos, continue like that ! +1 subscribe
Thank you! Ill do my best. I have a long list of places to visit, so it should not get too boring...
@@RADiOiNactivity That makes me happy ! i'll watch it for sure
Great video! Are the paint jars made out of plastic or glass?
Glass with a thick plastic lid and gasket. They are originally made for model making paint by Tamiya.
Я бы посоветовал вам оборачивать дозиметр сразу в несколько пакетов😊И засунуть его в резиновый бампер от ударов.
Устройство достаточно прочное :)
It would be so easy to drop your Radiacode and see it disappear forever under several tonnes of tailings. Radiacode sell a cover with a D-ring, that could be used with a wrist loop.
Would not be too hard to find since it's clicking all the time :)
You can also find the device with your smartphone. Even if it disappears i have a second Radiacode now.
Good video 🎉🎉🎉
Thanks!
please make more of these videos
I will visit another uranium mine tomorrow and make another video.
I can see what looks like some gummite on certain uraninite samples, and even maybe autunite?! Did you try using UV lights to see if some of the more greenish veins lit up in the case of autunite minerals?
There is a very big variety of different secondary minerals on almost all samples, as you can see on the photos at the end. I did not test any of them with UV light, but chances are some of them might show some fluorescence. At the end of the day you can never tell for sure which specific secondary mineral you are looking at. Only a lab analysis can give exact results.
In my latest videos (Hunting Uranium Ore 4 & 5) i show some highly UV sensitive samples that show intense fluorescence.
@@RADiOiNactivity Brilliant! Thanks for the reply! I'll check those for sure. Thanks for sharing these videos. I collect uranium samples and love those types of videos from different parts of the world.
@@RurouniHeero What is your favorit piece in your collection?
@@RADiOiNactivity It's a tough choice. There is a small torbernite crystal formation on top of a matrix that I have which I find stunning, but my favorite piece is a nice chunk of autunite with beautifully formed "fan" like crystals all over. I have it displayed in a small cabinet with UV lights in a secured container. Gotta love uranium minerals!
@@RurouniHeero i hope ill find some Torbernite some day. My latest piece is a beautiful chunk with what i suppose could be uranocircite.
Esses vídeos são estranhamente bom!!!, abraços do brasil 🇧🇷
Thanks! Greetings from Germany.
leave some uranium for the rest of us
Thanks for making me laugh :)
do you wear any breathmask not to inhale the gases or particles when you do such adventures?
I dont wear a respirator while searching, but when i break off pieces i put a FFP3 mask on most of the time.
There are no gases present except radon, but radon is always present and that doesnt matter until you go in a mine shaft. Even then oxygen should be your number one priority.
@@RADiOiNactivity yeah ffp3 good for particles (reduces 30x the risk). Do you have any working easy idea for the gases? As i understood it need to be an active cole mask or so? greetings from hamburg
@@hilltronic Wenn man sich vor Gasen schützen möchte, sollte man sich eine Vollmaske mit Kombinationsfilter anschaffen. Ich habe z.B. eine von Dräger mit A2B2P3 Filter. Welchen Filter man braucht richtet sich nach den verschiedenen Kategorien von Gasen. Man sollte aber immer auf genug Sauerstoff achten, da gibt es auch Geräte die einen warnen.

@@RADiOiNactivity Unventilated uranium mines can have radon levels of up to 1 million Bq/m³ and your instrument won't detect that.
@@karhukivi You will never find radon concentrations like that on the surface level and there are no open and abandoned uranium mines left to explore in Germany. Especially no unventilated mine shafts.
When you talk about my instruments, which of the 7 are you referring to exactly? My detectors with mica windows can detect radon decay products perfectly fine.
Zdravim, super kanal, podarilo sa uz najst niekedy aj autunit, prip. torbernit? :) tiez pouzivam 101, oproti 102 dlhsia vydrz baterie samozrejme, no lepsia BT konektivita.
Thank you! Yes the bluetooth range is better with the 102 model. Even with the device in my lead castle i can move 7 meters away and stay connected.
Did you find the Autunite and Tobernite in Slowakia?
@@RADiOiNactivityNot really, have not been looking yet as I don't have permits to any of famous locations. I had to obtain some darker and small ones over the internet, but unfortunately those nice big green specimen crystals of autunite are very expensive and at the same time they are quite strong and Im not sure about import or getting into trouble with them. I also use RadiaScan 701 for alpha detection, but 101 is so much easier to handle in case of looking for uranium ore, you demonstrated it very nicely! And extra points for gloves and hope for ffp2 or other face filter as well ;)
Where is the spec on this device - what is the detector type and size, battery, data transfer etc.? Their website is very poor in content.
Everything you mentioned is available on their website
radiacode.com/products/Detector-of-ionising-radiation-Gamma-spectrometer-Radiacode-102-works-with-Android-&-Google-Maps-p523994892
@@RADiOiNactivity Thanks - that link worked better. The crystal volume is tiny just 1cm³. We use the GT-32 spectrometer with a 103 cm³ BGO crystal and I think that is too small for any accurate work
@@karhukivi Don´t take this as an insult but you missed the point completly. This is a tiny radiation detector for the average consumer. The scintillation crystal is highly sensitive to photons even compared to larger pancake GM tubes and much more responsive. The device is robust and you can thrown it on the ground, a pancake detector would die immediately. The gamma spectroscopy function is very useful and works like a charm within reasonable limits. In a disaster type situation even this small crystal will identify fission products like Cs-137 without any problems. In my small lead castle i was able to get a nice 662 keV peak from dried mushrooms contaminated by fallout from Chernobyl for example.
This is not a professional device and it was never intended to compete with such devices. As a small everyday device with a wide range of functions it is superior to anything at the same price point.
Even professional devices are never good at everything. That is why people with a serious interest in radiation own multiple instruments for different purposes.
@@RADiOiNactivity That is very interesting indeed! The site I looked at had minimal information about it and I was not sure what the specifications were. We found that a GM tube can implode from putting it in the boot of a car and slamming it closed, but scintillation crystals are sensitive to thermal shock and can crack when taken out into a hot environment, which makes them lose their efficiency.
Yes, different instruments are used for different purposes, we use GM detectors in conjunction with NaI spectrometers for high-level grades and in down-hole logging through U mineralisation. Radon is a totally different problem and you need different kinds of detecting equipment for it. We measure radon in soil gas where the regolith is too thick for gamma radiation to penetrate, even 1 or 2 metres of sand will block it.
@@karhukivi Do you work for a uranium mining corp? I am always confused seeing abandoned uranium mines in the US for example in videos from Radioactive Drew. No ventilation and very primitive looking machinery. The days where uranium mining in (East) Germany was a thing are long gone. In the eraly days they used very primitive technology aswell but later advanced ventilation systems were implemented. This was not just for evacuation of radon gas. In shaft 371 they reached depths of almost 2000 meters where the rock layer had a temperature of 70°C. In conditions like that you would simply die by heat stroke without ventilation.
why do you do this? is it worth money?
Everything is worth some amount of money. I do this mostly for fun and out of interest for uranium minerals.
Where do you go to find the uranium
Depends on where you live. If you have closed uranium mines nearby you can search on the tailings.
Of course you can also find uranium in nature. Some areas are known for high uranium concentrations.
I mainly search in germany (saxony) and the czech republic, but there are many other great places all over the world
@@RADiOiNactivity what's normal background with cpm and cps on the radiacode?
@@SOVIET_NIET My background radiation is quite low and i get 6 CPS which is like 360 CPM at home.
@@RADiOiNactivity also
A link to your Geiger counter, please.
Do you mean the yellow Geiger counter or the scintillation counter i used most of the time?
@@RADiOiNactivity
Hi!
I later hear that it's called a Radio Code ll. A rather neat little unit. I thought that it was a Geiger counter but you now inform me that it's a scintillator. Do you have a link, please?
Does that unit detect alpha particles?

I'd like to make my ex-wife a necklace for Valentine's day, but it seems like an awful lot of work to get enough to make her a large enough necklace that will fit over her fat head.
So you need "gemstones" for the necklace? :)
