I've never seen this photo in colour before. Better update my t-shirt #uranium #uraniumburger

Uranium Hunting in a Military Zone. Next week’s video is an absolute barnstormer. Crashing continents, volcanoes, Amazonian deltas and the first life on land set the scene, the mineral veins here may be due to much more modern activity. Join us soon over on YouTube for the full video.

I had an amazingly brilliant time today exploring Linhope Burn in the Cheviot Hills. This time I had the most knowledgable help from Steve aka The Cheviot Panner to help find the promised Thorium in the Burn. Make sure you check out his channel - www.youtube.com/@cheviot62

My first ever radioactive fossil - this is a megalodon tooth is anywhere between 2 and 20 million years old. About an hour on the @radiacode.bsky.social reveals it to be 50/50 uranium and thorium. Cool find and something I've been hunting for a while.

Usually I'm hunting uranium. Today I'm helping to sell it. #uraniumglass

When a geologist goes camping, it's the one coffee to take.

Mycena subcyanocephala, a tiny, bright blue mushroom species, was discovered in the tropical forests of Taiwan.

I've spent weeks on this one. Devoke Water. Also known as "Chernobyl Lake" to the scientists who study it. A story about soil chemistry, bureaucratic failure, and why a 3-week sheep ban lasted 26 years. #Chernobyl40 #Radiacode #TheHumanFactor youtu.be/FglFML6wp1M

Had a great day out yesterday with the Open University Geological Society. We explored my beloved Cheviot Hills, unlocked the secrets of ancient volcanoes. Thank you to Karl & the team for putting on such an amazing & interesting day #rockhounding #northumberland #cheviothills @ougeolsoc.bsky.social

New blog post: Reduction Spheroids – The Metal-Eating, Uranium-Enriching Microbes from Mars* (*Possibly) theuraniumhunter.co.uk/2026/04/25/r...

8pm Sunday (GMT) - a tale of Caesium, Sheep Poo and Chernobyl. Over on YouTube. youtu.be/FglFML6wp1M

Dropping this Sunday. 40 years to the day since Chernobyl melted down. You'd think a lake in the Lake District would be pristine. You'd be wrong. The most devastating nuclear disaster in history isn't history. It's still here. In the soil. In the water. In the sheep. www.youtube.com/@TheUraniumH...

I ignored my Radiacode in Iceland. That was a mistake. ☢️❄️ The highest readings of the whole trip weren't on the plane. They were at a geothermal power station I didn't even know was radioactive. Watch now: youtu.be/DRSy5BMX6ls #Iceland #UraniumHunter #Radiacode #Geology #Radioactive #Geothermal

One for @lucyjanesantos.bsky.social me thinks. If your 'thingy' falls off, I guess that's technically curing the problem.

New Blog Post - There Be Gold in Them Caldbeck Hills (Maybe) We explore the prevalence of Gold in the Caldbeck Fells of Cumbria, and how there is definitely, possibly, maybe a pot of gold at the end of this spicy mining area. theuraniumhunter.co.uk/2026/04/13/t...

I love my little xr-1 br-6 Geiger counter (and yes it's a GM it has a tube and everything). My first Geiger. It just sits at the back of my cabinet. #uraniumglass #uranium #radioactive #science #geigercounter

These sheep (especially the cheeky one front middle) are responsible for an area in Cumbria staying radioactive post-Chernobyl for decades. The exact reason why is just off the charts. Can't wait to tell you guys all about it in a future YouTube video.

A big thank you to Mrs. Uranium Hunter for taking this "David Banner" shot of me after our last rockhounding expedition. It was tough work, but we did some great adventuring, and more importantly - science. Stay tuned for the full video and images.

I read somewhere that you haven't done anything until you've done 100 videos. So here I am. Sometimes it is me spending hours thrashing around the Cheviots looking for radioactive minerals, sometimes it is Burt the Hedgehog helping me find reduction spheroids. But every video is an adventure.

When you are using AI for research, and you are the research. Looks like I'm a AI-Influencer. Always check your sources!

The physics behind a "glowing blue powder" is more sinister than it looks. I reviewed Netflix's new disaster series "Radioactive Emergency" (Emergência Radioativa). Here is my breakdown of the show and the terrifying science of Caesium-137: youtu.be/muT-qfQrDAE

It was my 50th birthday and there was only one thing I wanted to do - to visit Iceland for the first time. However it quickly turned into a quest. A quest amongst lava fields, boiling mud, lava fields and steaming geysers to find the birth. The birth of rock itself. youtu.be/YPgmE7SCA2I

I swapped the Cheviot Hills for Iceland - to watch the Earth make rocks. Lava fields. Spitting Geysers. Boiling mud. Epic Waterfalls. 50mph winds. And a front-row seat to mineralisation in progress. Part 1 of my Iceland geology adventure previews Sat 4th April, 20:00 GMT. youtu.be/YPgmE7SCA2I

Yet again at a DIY store buying more equipment for future videos. This time it is tulip bulb planters, they can also detect caesium-137. How? Follow me to find out in future videos over on YouTube.

we love ducks.

There are now 10 toilets in Space International Space Station: 4 Crew Dragon Docked at ISS: 1 Soyuz Docked at ISS: 1 Tiangong Space Station: 2 Shenzhou Docked at TSS: 1 Artemis II on way around Moon: 1 This will be the first time a toilet has left low earth orbit!

I have questions. Quite a few actually. Fannettsburg Reformed Church, Metal Township, Pennsylvania,

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

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. #SeahamSeaGlass #Sunderland #Gateshead #Tyneside #Wearside #Seaham #NorthEastEngland #UraniumGlass #SeaGlass #Beachcombing #Radioactive

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. #Physics #Radiacode #CosmicRays #Iceland #Science #Radioactivity

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

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. youtu.be/vQVnqc0s0MI?...

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. #iceland #icelandrocks #waterfall #Þórufoss

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. #radiation #radioactive #cosmicradiation #radiacode

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) #Fiestaware #RadioactiveFiestaware #VintageFiestaware #UraniumGlass #FiestawareIdentification

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

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. Full video, @theuraniumhunter on YouTube. #sunderland #uraniumglass #radioactivity #museums

In doing the research on Sunderland for my latest video, and of all things Jimmy Carter popped up, and I was reminded of how he stopped a nuclear disaster. Beat that, Trump. www.military.com/history/how-...
