Bit of a boo for Otterburn fans. A real shame as there's some really interesting uranium mineralisation there I'd just started to explore. Blame the orange idiot.

Guess where I've been today!
I’m on a mission from Jen - Part 2
I am home with my prize! What is it, and how much will it set off the radiacode? And will I ever be able to get off all that bubble wrap!? #antiques #radioactive #fiestaware
What a heroic thing to do!
It’s funny, Connor. I used to be demanding of our corporate artists. Change this, do this, don’t do that. But as soon as “AI” came out, I’d let any old dogshit go to print. It turned out that all I wanted the whole time was to be in charge.
it's funny
Uranium sea glass forms through a century-long process of anthropogenic taphonomy, where human-made industrial waste is reclaimed and reshaped by nature.

I absolutely adore my little cat ghost - Uranium Glass of course - that Mrs. Uranium Hunter gifted me for my birthday. It has pride of place in my 'glowy' cabinet. I also got this cute side-eye teddy too, he knows where the glow is!
On the flight to Iceland I posted a shot of me holding my radiacode on the plane, mid-air, showing a reading of 1.4 µS. A few people asked me to take a spectrum and a full-flight reading on the way back so here it is.

Maybe, without knowing it, you have some radioactive sea glass in your collection? Grab a UV torch and find out! #seaham #seahamhall #seaglasser #seaglass #seaglasshunting #seaglassbeach #beachcombing #uraniumglass #radioactive #radiacode #gammaspectrometry #northeastengland #countydurham
Damn, i've only just bought it too.
how serendipitous! I've literally just done a video on this, uranium sea glass is the boss of sea glass :)
The next part of the Uranium Glass series takes us to Seaham, County Durham, where Victorian industrial waste lies scattered across the beach. At night, armed with UV torches, we hunt for the neon-green glow of uranium sea glass hidden among the ordinary pebbles.

No clever words. Just the most stunning natural wonder I've ever seen. I cannot wait to put everything together from my trip into a future YouTube video. Iceland is a lesson in geology - the primordial earth, raw, powerful.

We went for a journey into a real volcano, it was absolutely amazing, you honestly felt like you were there. Perlan also had lots of great geology exhibits too but the only thing that topped this was the real ice cave. More on that later. #perlan #iceland #volcano
Mrs Uranium Hunter and I found Dr. Evil's liar deep in the Icelandic tundra. He offered us one million dollars not to reveal the secret of his liar. So instead I'll pretend it's a natural volcano, or what remains, of a 3,000 year old magma chamber collapse. #iceland #volcano #icelandgeology #kerið
Doing science, 36,000 feet up in the air. 1 microsievert.
That reading I got is totally normal and actually pretty fascinating. I was picking up cosmic radiation space which is constantly showering Earth with high-energy particles.

For my 50th birthday, I'm off on a geology holiday to the land of fire and ice, Iceland. Geiger and GoPro in hand. I hope to snap some cool stuff for you all.
I’m on a mission from Jen - Part 1
Fannies is always a special place for me, and this time Jen from Cabinet of Curiosities had a special mission for me - to see how radioactive her new cabinet was. So of course, I packed up my RC102 and went on the hunt. #antiques #uraniumglass #radium #fiestaware
Sunday, 8pm GMT. The next part of my Uranium Glass series takes us to Seaham, County Durham, where we find radioactive waste lying openly on the beach. You're going to love the science. youtu.be/vQVnqc0s0MI #Seaham #seaglass #uraniumglass #radioactive
How to Spot Radioactive Red Fiestaware:
Lowercase, script-like "fiesta" (usually ink stamp).
May say "GENUINE" or "HLC"
Bright, deep "Fiesta Red" (1930s-1970s)

Passing these massive things on trip to Yorkshire didn’t half remind me of the film Threads. These giant golfballs at Menwith Hill hide a sophisticated communication monitoring system run by the UK, US and Australia.
I wonder if it could help locate any of my missing mobile phones?
I spruced up my two radioactive cabinets - it’s now a real combination of uranium glass, radioactive minerals &radium clocks I’ve collected and various oddball items. And the glow… a uranium hunters dream. Anything take your fancy? #radium #uraniumglass #radioactive #radioactiverocks #rockhounding
A little BTS of an upcoming video I've filmed at the weekend - what is better than modern uranium glass, a spooky castle and a witch called Margaret? A new t-shirt of course! #uraniumglass #castles #northumberland
The National Glass Centre, Sunderland...had a very important mission. We called in Burt the Hedgehog - his nose was perfect for the task. We think he did rather well. burt.the.hedgehog on Instagram. Full video, @theuraniumhunter on YouTube #stainedglass #sunderland #hedgehogs #africanpygmyhedgehogs
Stunning micro.
Sound advice, thank you.
I'm going next week, weather looks cloudy, I hope that's not the case.
That is such a beautiful display and explanation; uranium glass totally rocks.
The Winter Gardens, Sunderland...holds a glowing, radioactive secret. The James A. Jobling Exhibition...let's you touch and test the glow.
Real Uranium Glass, Real Radioactivity.
And there's Dinosaurs.
