I remember buying some cheap high school constructs on ebay maybe 10 years ago.  One issue was I didn't have a radioactive source to test it, and if you left it on you might hear a click hear and there.  Maybe that is reassuring but you wouldn't know if its working.  Then theres geiger counters I've seen that cost around 600 US.  Pretty expensive toy if you're not living in a radioactive dump site. 

Perhaps it might come in useful if you live near a coal power station?  Heard you get more radioactivity there than you do near a nuclear power station, as long as there isn't a melt down.

Anyone tried messing around with these?  Or maybe you still use 35mm cameras and your film keeps going opaque?
