Found a Radioactive Beer Stein

[@DocJiswasted1]

I work at the Hanford Nuclear Reservation & I appreciate your videos showing people the true reality of radioactive elements. You are spreading truth and that’s what people need to see.

[@RadioactiveDrew]

Glad you appreciate it. From my experience, people that work in the industry really like what I'm doing with these videos.

[@1ytcommenter]

1440 or 7440 is the catalogue/order number of the manufacturer for that piece. The letter Z is missing from the lettering. Bregenz is a city in Austria.

[@RadioactiveDrew]

That's what someone else was telling me.

[@Elizebazz]

7:01 the uv light on camera make it look like radeye b20 in green screen

Mark on the top of the stein looks like a "0.5 Liters" stamp.

[@418laylah]

I have an electric coffe percolator with the cream and sugar bowls. It was made in the 1920s or 30s in Pittsburgh Pennsylvania. It is crazy off the charts. Im really glad i never used it. Im not sure if it would be good heating up liquids in it or not, but its over 300msv even on the inside.

[@RadioactiveDrew]

I kind of doubt it’s 300 mSv/hr. Even pure uranium metal can’t give that high of a dose rate. What detector were you using to get that number?

[@418laylah]

@@RadioactiveDrew it says mcR/h. I'm not sure what that is. I just checked.

Drew; Minute 5:15 The mark at the beer stein top or upper part is the official filling level. Since longer than a hundred years the filling level must be shown an accurate if the glas, bottle or here „the Stein“ is used in public serving. The customer shall have control not getting cheated. It says 0,5 Liter (half Liter) and the line of where the half Liter is.

[@RadioactiveDrew]

Thanks for that clarification. I thought it looked like 0.5L.

[@TomKappeln]

Totaly right.

[@depbarnes]

Hey Drew. On your beer stein, the 0.5L mark indicates 1/2 litre capacity.

[@MooshYT]

Super cool to see your radioactive adventures, Drew, keep it up and stay healthy!

[@WalterWagner001]

Lucky find. I found a Uranium-glazed beer stein a few years ago in Monterey at the Antique Mall. Pre-WWII based on the inscription, German military souvenir, apparently, honoring military service. It's the usual orange.

[@robinwells8879]

A little gem of a video about a little gem of a stein found in a little gem of a small town. Thanks.

[@RadioactiveDrew]

No problem…glad you liked it.

[@isiso.speenie5994]

7:00 maybe because it was powdered U238 in clear glass as opposed to U,238 in opaque paint ?

[@airplaneengine]

I used to bring my cheap Soviet/Russian Kvarts DRSB-01 to antique shops and antique shows/flea markets and search for radioactive pieces. I'd sometimes get attention from the shop owners who always thought it was interesting. It's been over a decade since I last did that, seeing this video makes me want to go out and do it again one of these days.

[@TheGreatGastronaut]

Hi Drew: The mark that you couldn’t identify carved into the pottery of the stein is called a fullstricht (fill line). It is required on all glassware used in commercial establishments that serve beverages under the “Schankgefäßeverordnung” law. The fill line shows where the container’s rated capacity indicated below the line is reached. The capacity marking is called the “Nenninhalt”. The indicated capacity of that stein is a half liter (pint). Glad to hear you grew up in Placerville. I went to school and later worked in Sacto and have many friends with deep roots in Placerville, Cameron Park, Jackson and the rest of the foothills. I can’t imagine how many “steins” I knocked back at Poor Red’s…. Oh well, we all move on, far from gold country.

[@RadioactiveDrew]

Its always funny hearing other people talk about that area. Lots of memories there.

[@caveone-365]

Always enjoy and appreciate your commitment to making these videos and sharing them with us Drew! Thank You again for letting us experience your adventures brother! 👍

[@RadioactiveDrew]

Its always nice to hear that. I find it funny that so many KZbinrs say "don't read the comments". I like reading the comments because the vast majority of people that watch these video have genuine questions about this subject or are just saying how much they enjoy the videos. Seems like there is a pretty good community here.

[@lassediscovers1813]

The upper marking is 0.5L it means the volume it can take. Beer is often sold as a half liter here in Europe👍

[@RadioactiveDrew]

I guess it makes a lot of sense because .5L is 1 pint.

[@RurouniHeero]

I absolutely love those videos Drew. I've been going antiquing with my geiger counter for about two years now and I've befriend the owners of the few antique shops around my area. They are now more like friends and always found my adventures interesting. (They call me Mr. Uranium.) Great find and great video Drew. More like these, they are wonderful! Cheers!

[@RadioactiveDrew]

[@docord1]

Drew, You peaked my interest in your take of radiation. My dad worked for Atomic International in the sixties involved with the design of reactors in S. Cal. so I'm not afraid of radiation. I purchased a Radiacode 102 after watching several of your videos. I work in a dental school, my office across the hall from a panograph x-ray machine. There are 2 walls and a hallway between me and the radiation source. I was shocked when my alarms started going off. I found out that the machine was in use. Only minor radiation should pass one wall, not two. Sometimes, you learn new things in the strangest way. Enjoy your videos keep on doing them. I think they show people that radiation is something not to be afriad of.

[@RadioactiveDrew]

I hope these videos do show people that radiation isn't something to be afraid of. Its always good to know what your exposure is when working around x-rays and other sources.

[@dan_in_sd]

Great stuff Drew! love your videos. the other mark near the rim of beer stein looks like "0,5L" which in Europe might be 0.5 L as in liters. Have you ever found uranium glazed plates or cups that neared 100kcps ?

[@naughtiusmaximus830]

Half a liter? That’s not a beer that’s a chaser. What’s the word? Fluetje?

[@Sam-dn8my]

[@Stuart-AJC]

@@naughtiusmaximus830 In most places, you order a large or a small (glass of) beer ("ein großes Bier", "ein kleines Bier"), which would be 0.5 litres / 0.3 litres. In Bavaria, you order "eine Halbe" (half a litre) or "eine Maß" (a full litre glass).

[@12Deathcon]

Correct, its a calibration mark at that mark the volume will be 0.5L before the head 😊

[@MrMarcin2323]

5:20 this mark looks like it's capacity "0.5L" half a litre which is slightly less than a pint. It would also suggest it originated from Europe

[@RurouniHeero]

There's also the 1440 mark, which reminds of the patents code in Germany for the potteries of the Jasba Keramik brand.

[@RadioactiveDrew]

I've read that the 1440 mark might have been a design number.

[@EphemeralThought]

I like to imagine that Drew's garage is slowly becoming a noticeable hotspot on the Radiation detection satellites as he slowly adds to his collection. :D

[@nefariumxxx]

I've heard they use helicopters equipped with large scintillation probe panels to do grid surveys of metro areas but not heard about satellites before. I suppose if you had enough commonly found gamma emitters (like Radium/Thorium bearing objects).... then you might get noticed. U-glass and pottery doesn't emit enough gamma to get noticed, being mostly a low energy beta emitter (although high in the CPM sometimes). Low energy beta does not travel far enough through the air/walls/glass to the outside world so would not be easily detected.

[@Muonium1]

@@nefariumxxx detection of ground radiation is definitely not possible from orbit. even a low flying gamma survey would never see something like a personal collection of items in a house and can only see LARGE accumulations of U and Th bearing minerals near the surface.

[@nefariumxxx]

@@Muonium1 Yeah hopefully nobody would be dumb enough to hoard enough material but we get all sorts of weirdos in the hobby. There have been some irresponsible sellers hawking thorium powder for quack magical healing powers which have been recently shut down by the NRC. They imported way too much of it and might have qualified for aerial detection. However we did not need helicopters to know that.

Kool! The 0.5L with the line mark is mandatory (legal) mark for how much beer to that line. Half a litre in this case. When I lived in Germany during the end of the cold war, all bar and restaurant glassware had to have this capacity mark. I bet that stein could be from the war years! A german collector can probably tell you!

[@RadioactiveDrew]

Yeah, I would like to know when it was made. Based on the uranium glaze I'm thinking 1930's, 1940's. But it could be more 50's or 60's because the uranium ban was really only happening in the US starting in 1943.

[@uldrickedwards4031]

Hey drew, the 0.5 L i(liter) is the standard way Germans mark their drinkware. I guess they wanted to be sure they got all their money's worth. I saw some really fancy beer steins i n Germany and every one had the capacity mark. It must be by law.

According to the green stains on the lid, it contains copper, and I would advise you to remove these stains using a glass brush or other mechanical means, not chemical, and then protect it from the environment using for example vaseline. If you don't remove the oxidation it may continue to eat through the lid over time. These stains may well be caused by food spillings, I managed to damage an antique kerosene stove I had used to make apple sauce without cleaning it immediately after use, and I wish to spare you the regret I have now... Nice find as always! Keep it up... The text on the side is an indication of the volume: 0,5 liters.

Drew! I'm an artist of exotic metals. I'm thinking of collecting thousands of expired (the older the better) smoke alarms that have accumulated neptunium. The reason being that neptunium is relatively stable and has a nice low melting point, I want to cast some things out of it. What are your thoughts? Perhaps there is a better way to obtain neptunium otherwise?

[@RadioactiveDrew]

Well the amount of Am-241 is extremely small and the amount of Np-237 is even smaller in smoke detectors. Not to mention casting something out of this metal could be extremely dangerous for a couple reasons. I know a lot of the elements down by uranium and plutonium are pyrophoric, meaning they can catch fire in air if they are in a powder.

[@ThePeterDislikeShow]

@@RadioactiveDrew I'm surprised about them being pyrophoric. I've always thought metals that far down would be extremely stable, similar to gold.

@@ThePeterDislikeShow I haven't looked into it. I've been way too busy. I have another couple videos coming up where I plan on using the lead bricks again...and they are still bare lead.

[@ThinkingBetter]

How much uranium will be loosened and stuck on the finger by rubbing it? I'm sure it depends on the glaze composition. Worse is probably to cut your steak with a sharp knife on one of those uranium plates. It would be a fun video to do to check this subject btw. Of course lead is nasty to get in the body, but so is uranium.

[@RadioactiveDrew]

The glaze is pretty much a glass containing the uranium oxide. Handling the stein shouldn’t free any of the uranium. But if you started scratching it with something metal I’m sure you could get some to come off. With the plates that are uranium glazed, using a knife or even metal utensils will free some of that uranium. I remember reading a paper that estimated the uranium ingestion from using these plates. I remember it being very small.

[@Muonium1]

@@RadioactiveDrew The paper you are thinking of is "Leaching of uranium from glass and ceramic foodware and decorative items" by Landa et al. in J. Health Phys. '92. I recently talked with the author by email.

[@nefariumxxx]

It's a common misconception often repeated by people. Often enough that I have considered making a geiger counter probe from a fake plastic banana. SBM20 geiger tube would fit nicely inside. :) You might have to get a pallet stacked with full boxes of bananas in order to get anywhere near the same levels from the Potassium-40 content.
