He mined it himself :)

Didn't get it on camera but it goes up to 250< cpm when I let it sit!

Found what I belive is a full set of uranium glass! I didn't buy it but it was cool to see!

I just found this for 3 bucks at an antique mall. Is this unsafe to have? Do I need to put it in a lead box? Or can I just put it on my shelf of other dials (positioned above my bed)?

Plutonium oxide used in old Soviet smoke detectors in a plastic matrix. The small silver one is americium. The one on the scale is uranium all are kept in a heavily leaded glass container

it’s in perfect condition. no flaking or dust. might re-paint the outside.
