Is this a uranium coating

Found it in a thrift store, but I really don't know if it has a uranium coating or just a modern fluorescent coating.

Need help identifying an 800-year-old lead object found at a main market square

looking for some expert advice or comparable finds for this lead object I found with my metal detector.Here are the exact specifications and context: Location: Found during excavations at a Main Market Square.

Archeological Context: A professional archeologist confirmed the soil layer it came from dates strictly back to 1100–1200 AD (High Middle Ages).Material: Solid lead core. The exterior has a hard, rusty magnetic crust due to centuries of iron-rich soil exposure.Weight: 46 grams.Dimensions: Roughly 20mm (2 cm) in diameter.Shape: Perfectly spherical/round like a musket ball, except for one deliberately flattened side.Markings: On this flattened side, under the oxidation, there is a distinct relief-cast line of small dots/circles (a pearl-rim pattern).Based on the weight and the 12th-century market square context, it seems to be an early medieval trade weight (a spherical lead weight with a flat base used for weighing silver or spices). The line of dots was likely an early town hallmark or anti-fraud rim.Does anyone recognize this specific relief-cast pattern, or have you seen similar 12th-century lead weights with a single flat decorated side?

Is it a radium clock

Found it in a thrift store and was curious if it is radium I don't have a Geiger counter I believe it is from the 1930s or something like that. I know that you cannot be 100% sure without a geiger counter but maybe y'all know more so can help a little

Is this uranium glass

I found this at a thrift shop today and I just couldn't place it if it is manganese or uranium the glow is not that bright in daylight under a 395 all uv photos are under 395 the first 2 are under uv in a dark room the second 2 are in a normal light environment and the last 2 without uv light. Any info is welcome

Can this beuaty be uranium glass

u/uv_glass_collector — 1 month ago

Could this be blue and amber uranium glass

I found this on Vinted for quite cheap and yes I know the chances are really really low but chat gpt and Gemini both said that there is a very high chance that both the pieces will glow I know that I shouldn't really trust them for this so I thought what do y'all think

u/uv_glass_collector — 1 month ago

Got this at a thrift store for 5 euros

I think it is blue uranium glass cause it glows under 365 and 395 and I would love to know more about it

u/uv_glass_collector — 2 months ago

I found it on Vinted for 4.50 and already paid cause It is a present but when I asked gemini for some info it said that there is a 90% chance it contains uranium I am an collector of uranium glass and other "glow glass" so if it is I would need to search a new present any ID' ing is appreciated

u/uv_glass_collector — 2 months ago

I saw it for 25 euros but bought it for 18 cause it has some damage on the foot of the lamp but I don't really care cause it is for my collection so I will not see the damage that much does anyone have some info or id

It is only the one lamp in the middle and those are the photos from Vinted for more you would need to wait a bit until I receive it

u/uv_glass_collector — 2 months ago

I didn't expect it to glow but I think it is uranium glaze but I am not sure my light is 365nm and I don't have a 395

u/uv_glass_collector — 2 months ago

Second and third photo is under 395nm uv Light en the last 2 under 365nm if someone has some info about the clock or the glass I would love to hear it
