I understand they are very slightly radioactive there because the Uranium prospectors of the 1950's found bones while hunting for ore. What sort of Geiger Counter would suit us? We're just having a good little treasure hunt! Cheers Lex. My son and I will be looking for dinosaur bones in the Wyoming desert in August.

The purchase of a geiger counter was not all that uncommon. I imagaine that more than a few wound up stashed in the back of a closet, much like today's metal detectors.
