If members are interested in splitting the lot I can arrange delivery.

I would imagine as any sensor would but aren't they able to pick up radium on a watch?

I bought one of those portable iphone smart Geiger devices that connect to the microphone input. It seems to work pretty well.

Here is a reading for one of my radium lumed watches.

I had no issues with customs. It came in standard cheap chinese plastic package.

hi mel, i mean to say industrial type geiger counters would attract attention through customs.

the small iphone type geiger counter is ok.

a search on ebay turns up lots of geiger counters.
