Geiger Counter Measuring Vintage Radioactive Red Fiestaware Dinner Plate

Civil Defense Geiger Counter model CDV-700b with CDV-700RD pancake probe measuring a vintage (1936 - 1943) radioactive red Fiestaware dinner plate purchased on EBay. Background radiation as measured by Geiger counter is ~70CPM. Fiestaware dinner plate measures ~27,500CPM.

HOW DID YOU MAKE THE SPEAKER

[sl44er]

@Instucablanator The speaker was purchased from anythingradioactive com.

Why the heck would someone want a radioactive toxin plate?

I just keep thinking that thing is obviously dangerous in that you will have some poisoning effects from it.

[sl44er]

@WildBuck007 The plate is only toxin if you digest the radioactive glazing.

What is interesting about all this is "Ann Coulter" was touting the benefits of radioactive activity in the body. She spoke of cell phones, cell towers, and much more. She even quoted some of the studies. Then there is granite. I heard this is radioactive. I never checked any of this. Lastly, how about the Honda Hybrids and all the ecars coming out. I "heard" fairly high levels there too. Thanks for any help s144er!

@ThinkPureTruth Search Google for 'hormesis' and the benefits of lower level radiation. Granite can definitely be radioactive, my granite kitchen counters measure three times ambient background radiation. I have no information on Hybrid cars being radioactive, I'll have to research that one :)

The all NEW Fiestaware! Microwaves your food without using a microwave! :)

Very informative

Great video

...I'll disagree with you on that point. But then again. It is up to the person wanting such objects. Just don't handle it to much is my advice. Stay safe, cheers. =)

@zensurfer0 Thank you for viewing :)

@The2Wiredproductions There is nothing dangerous about the plate unless you chip the glazing off and eat it. There are no restrictions on mailing consumer products of earlier years that have low levels of radiation. The plate makes a great source to test geiger counter is functioning.

@Arkansis I purchased the CD V-700 geiger counter from ebay. The CD V-700 is one of the more sensitive CD counters and will measure background ambient radiation. The gieger counter is not modified. The pancake probe used is more sensitive than the standard CD V-700 hotdog probe but the hotdog probe is sensitive enough to measure changes in background radiation.

from where can I buy from this geiger counter?

I have seen some on Ebay but they say they are calibrated for measuring high dosage so it will not even show ambient radiation etc..

Is this geiger counter modified? and from where can I buy it?

thanks
