Was doing the Lego with the kids and couldn't resist a go with the UV torch. And guess what...the glow was mighty!

I really enjoyed this book. Depsite the cover it was a little light on Nuclear war but it was fun for a quick potted history of the Cold War in Britain. Was a The Works cheapy special.

Something new - Tritium tube
Tritium only emits Beta radiation when it decays to Helium 3 at an energy of 18.6 Kev.

Mrs Uranium Hunter and I have just booked a cheeky little break here for September. Cannot wait. The promise of visiting mines, radon baths, radium spas and soaking up the history of this place is intoxicating. #radiumspa #jachymov #czechrepublic #radonbath

Just booked myself a cheeky long weekend in Tyndrum, Scotland in May. Going to investigate the old mines for uranium, have a cheeky peak at the Cononish Gold Mine and even try panning for my own gold. This has been on my bucket list for ages.

I know someone it going to tell me it's more tritium or plutonium, but it's a cool meme nonetheless.

Why didn't my parents ever buy me cool stuff like this?
It's amazing that it teaches children how to find uranium. That's crazy!
Did anyone own one of these? ☢️🫢

Another December highlight: 12-year-old Aidan McMillan's hobby Farnsworth fusor in Dallas, producing around 150000 neutrons / second from deuterium fusion, built over three years of effort. He has great mentorship, especially regarding safety, which is obviously important for kids. #HobbyNuke

This is very interesting but also shocking documentary about the mines in what is now the Czech Republic, where Uranium was mined under terrible conditions for the Soviet nuclear efforts. I'm visiting both Praque and Jachymov in September, it will be fascinating to study both the history & the rocks

My adventures to Carlcroft Burn in the Cheviot Hills after Christmas has been one of my most, if not, the most satisfying of my Uranium Hunter adventures so far.

Mrs Uranium Hunter has been ever so kind to me this Christmas. Amongst my goodies was a Uranium Glass Christmas Tree decoration (from www.etsy.com/shop/DeadlyC...), a custom wool hat and a personalised Uranium Hunter diary for 2026's adventures. Can't wait to fill it in!

What did you do post-Christmas? Checked out some heavy-duty rockhounding tools of course. That uranium won't come out of the ground by itself.

A very merry Christmas to all you glowy fans, here's to hunting down more radioactivity in 2026. What's your one thing you want to find next year? For me it's either an aircraft dial or a radioactive spring.
