@Appenzeller92 Hi, not at all I found it on ebay :)

But I bought it a few years ago, and it's more expensive now, about 100$ a piece vs 4$ in 2005.

this is a really cool video- love the music! what's the name of the song!

[darkdjo]

@QEII Hi, many thanks, music is by Henry Mancini & His Orchestra - Something for Cat

Congrats! You have MEGACANCER lol but where'd you buy the geiger counter?

...I WANT ONE SO BAD

[darkdjo]

@tornadomad On ebay, for about 60$ + shipment. But no, radiations are ridiculous at distance, not significatively different from normal level. You just have to not eat this mineral LOL

@DrStranger666

If he had very large quantities maybe, but with what's shown in the video he'd need to eat some of it to get cancer.

[DrStranger666]

Wouldn't you get cancer by doing this without the suit?

I mean your next to a quite a bit of a motherfucking radioactive piece of material.

BTW great video

[falafel1995]

I have the same one, where did you get the speaker? Mine makes no noise.

@antiprotons I was looking for that specific unit.

[antiprotons]

@wojtuniakfrog Are you looking for a CD v-700 because you want that specific unit, or are you just looking for a Geiger counter, in general? Also, might I ask, what is the concern over X-Rays?

I bought my unit for a good source on eBay, Hughescoinsandcollectables. They sell good units, fully refurbished.

[wojtuniakfrog]

@antiprotons OK, thanks. The challenge now is finding a CDV-700. :)

[antiprotons]

@wojtuniakfrog A CD v-700 has a Geiger Meuller tube, so it can detect X-rays as long as they are strong enough and of enough intensity. An X-ray is the same thing as a gamma ray, essentially. Although, X-rays are often less powerful and harder to pickup. I typically find X-rays below 100 KeV. They cause my detector all sorts of issues lol

[wojtuniakfrog]

Nice video. Can the CDV-700 detect X-rays?

[nukesvids]

@darkdjo Lol, not to judge you.. But, you mean 10-20$ for a rock on ebay now... None go up to even 35$.. :/

The the noise that sounds like a popcorn machine is giving a reference to what your organs are doing. lol :D
