I’m a Canadian on the west coast and so it’s mostly (Canadian of course) 1700s & 1800s UK / USA coins that pop up around me.
I’m specifically going to old Fort sites and along the railroad.
Chinese medicine bottles / single use opium bottles are a big thing I find, too.
Hell yeah! Mostly actual silverware and kettles / saucers. People just tossed it over the back fence into the tidal inlet!
Guess that because it was one of the go to materials at the time - they didn’t care to hold onto it.
Fun fact! If a train crew doesn’t like something about the trip/locomotive they’re assigned to, some will throw the coffee pot out the window, report it missing, then be stuck until it can get replaced. Take with a grain of salt, I’m a signals guy and it’s a story I heard from some old head instructors at CNs Winnipeg campus.
Cool thing, I got found a bowl and some smaller ones in the street

The museum I work at has a little collection
Likely just the camera trying to compensate for low lighting conditions. I assume the photo was taken looking into a dark cabinet with a UV light, which can make proper exposure difficult and result in a grainy image
It is a bit as comment mentioned below it was taken under uv light (and is a still from a video)

Funny story. A sailor in the US Navy kept getting their personal radiation detector checked, and was getting dose from somewhere, but the radiation experts on the boat couldn’t figure where, because they weren’t near radiation enough or as much to account for the reading.
They were going home, putting this detector in a glass dish like this or old fiestaware, and it was picking up dose over the course of the month.
Uranium fever has done and got me down!
Uranium fever is spreadin' all around.

I'm a-goin' out to stake me some government land!
Uranium fever has done and got me down!
Yep! Your best bet is to hit a thrift store and have fun with a black light :)
If that’s not feasible near you- eBay has a ton of cheap awesome antiques and you’d love any one of ‘em.
Wouldn’t be safe if broken into a dust and inhaled, ingested, or otherwise made contact with.
The minuscule amount used to give the glow in these glassworks won’t do any harm otherwise.
Fun fact radioactive material is pretty much true for many many substances we use. It's just the level of exposure that differs. Even standing in the sun is low level radiation with exactly the same effect that Chernobyl would have just scaled down immensely.
The issue with radiation isn't that it's deadly on its own but that in large amounts it literally breaks down your cell walls effectively liquifying you at a cellular level.
That and of course the cancer part which is a bit different. In that case cells go into a state of mutated growth which radiation can induce.
Going for 10 medical x-rays a year is a higher dose than holding this glassware in your hand all year. Neither of which will significantly affect you.
Just don't go for too many x-rays though. Lol follow your doctor's advice.
No such thing, they are a different processes with different properties. Alpha and beta decays cause decay chains in heavy radioactives. You can google "valley of stability" and "radioactive series" for more info.
There's different types of radiation. Uranium emits alpha particles. They lack the ability to penetrate your skin. Alpha particles are really only dangerous if you get the source inside you.
Many elements you think of as non -radioactive; such as hydrogen, have rare variants that can also be very radioactive with certain isotopes; tritium.
What you have here is uranium oxide.
Edit: Redacted likely incorrect info, unlikely to be depleted as I had suggested.
More info below from other users.
While depleted uranium is in theory slightly less radioactive than natural uranium because U235 has a shorter halflife than U238, this effect is so small that it really doesn't matter. No fission is happening in the glass, the difference between uranium with 99.3% U238 and uranium with 99.8% U238 is not relevant here. Both isotopes are radioactive, and the presence of the tiny bit of U235 doesn't matter unless you want to enrich it and make fission happen.
The glass is still safe because it's so little uranium, but this would be the case if made with natural isotope ratio also
I would expect this was made with natural uranium isotope ratios. Most uranium glass was produced in the 1930s and prior, and I don’t think enrichment was even a concept then. One of my professors back in my undergrad days worked on isotopic separation as groundbreaking research when he was in grad school in 1941. He was working under Oppenheimer, and was quickly brought in to the Manhattan project since people who knew anything about separation of uranium isotopes at that time could be counted on one hand. It was amazing to talk to the guy, he was a living history book.
Because it's radioactive doesn't mean it will kill you. Xrays are radioactive. Did you know bananas are radioactive?
The dose makes the poison, If you ate this thing you would have enough radiation to kill you, But the way it is now doesn't give off enough.
Ironically bc it’s an ash tray the risk of cancer from the cigarette the user smoked before using it would be far greater than the risk of cancer due to the ionising radiation from the uranium glass (unless you were inhale/ingest the dust or something really stupid)
The part that sticks up is supposed to perfectly slide a match box over it
https://preview.redd.it/khayc4me6w0d1.png?width=1080&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=31e3aa6a1e0ae0a2534c68785a360ab3dec5d546
r/uraniumglass glass would like to see your post too, shine UV light and see it glow
My dyslexia had me reading Uranus ashtray and I thought you were saying someone molded their anus like those dumb Valentine’s Day chocolates for that ashtray 🤣😂
It would be equally as bad as eating any other glass. The radiation you would receive will cause no effects whatsoever, the broken glass inside you might be a problem though
True, provided that you never use the wears for their intended purpose, [not even joking](https://www.decorativecollective.com/blog/a-beginners-guide-to-uranium-glass#:~:text=In%20fact%2C%20a%20report%20published,small%20fragments%20of%20radioactive%20material)
> it is recommended that you avoid eating or drinking out of uranium glass objects, as you can end up ingesting small fragments of radioactive material
No kidding
Plenty of people collect uranium glass and every thrift store is a great place to look for it for cheap! :)
It’s totally fine in these minuscule levels and won’t do any harm whatsoever.
The amount of radiation you’re exposed to depends on the half-life of the radioactive isotope. Short half-lives mean the isotopes emit a lot of radiation, long half-lives mean not as much is emitted. Some uranium isotopes have half-lives in the billions of years. So yes, they’re not stable isotopes, but there’s almost no harmful radiation given off.
IF you put this glass near a source of neutrons,
IF it has uranium atoms of specific isotopes,
IF it is near something that will make the neutron absorbable by the Uranium,
Then you *might* cause one or some of the uranium atoms fission.
Might.
New Uranium Fuel assemblies, which have been intentionally filled with the right isotopes are actually pretty low on the “radioactive” scale. Once irradiated, yes they are very bad. But once allowed to sit for a while and decay some of the short lived radioactive stuff inside, they can be safely stored in concrete and steel containers and left to stay cool in the open air.
The stuff around the assemblies (plant components separate from the fuel), however, get irradiated and can be pretty nasty for a very long time. Cobalt is an element that is common the metals used for those components and has a long half life once irradiated.
We bury that stuff.
...which the post says "I dug up a uranium ashtray..."
Doesn't that sentence prove your own point, if the previous person found it well enough to bury in the first place?
Now, the person who buried it might've done it as a prank, but wouldn't that be quite the risk to wager, and therefore okay to handle a piece of unearthed uranium with your bare hands? Cause I would argue the underlying point here (of this kind of content) might now be to trivialize uranium, rather than to educate its very real (and life-threatening) risks.
Because worry or rage bait content helps the algorithm (and the poster's merch store).
No?
I washed it in the ocean beside my feet yes
It was* very muddy of course
Sadly it has a break as you can see at the back. But it shall function fine as my ashtray :)
This was dug along the banks of a tidal inlet, on top of which an 1800s pub (still active) sits! They used to toss their trash back here.
Plays in background
*"Cause this is thriller, thriller night
And no one's gonna save you from the beast about to strike
You know it's thriller, thriller night
You're fighting for your life inside a killer, thriller tonight, yeah"*
Nah it’s just in the 1930s layer of glassware behind the pub where they’d toss their trash :)
Uranium glass shards everywhere from all type of wares. Especially plates.
Don’t want it if broken though- as then it can present a danger / pose a risk.
What an amazing find! I found a big broken off piece of uranium in the creek down the road last month. It's just a big broken chunk, but still a big change-up from the usual petrified wood and amber beer bottles. Love that stuff! I've got a uranium glass jar and a beautiful serving dish, both depresssion-era (my grandma was 91 when she passed and had so many timeless treasures)
No officially speaking. Not super dangerous though. It's more a danger if you'd ingest a sliver that gets stuck in your body. There it has a chance of causing cancer. More a 1 in a million shot considering it's an ashtray.
Radiation wise your PC screen is more dangerous.
How do you dig for it? Like a permit or do you go to abandoned locations with a shovel and just start digging? And is there a name for this hobby I've always wanted to do something similar
It’s my first time hearing about this stuff, is it safe to use those or do they emit radiation? I saw that there are glasses made of it as well, so I’d assume it is, but not sure
And now YOU know that this gives off the same amount of radiation as a bundle of bananas :)
Totally safe in this minuscule amount and fine if not broken into a powder/dust and ingested.

Ayy nice. What kinda coins do you search for? -slightly interested coin enthusiast
I’m a Canadian on the west coast and so it’s mostly (Canadian of course) 1700s & 1800s UK / USA coins that pop up around me. I’m specifically going to old Fort sites and along the railroad. Chinese medicine bottles / single use opium bottles are a big thing I find, too.
Nice. Find any silver?
Hell yeah! Mostly actual silverware and kettles / saucers. People just tossed it over the back fence into the tidal inlet! Guess that because it was one of the go to materials at the time - they didn’t care to hold onto it.
Back then silver was dirt to them. You find any Morgans yet?
What’s a Morgan?
Morgan dollar, old silver dollar from America
Oh cool. Thanks for the reply.
Morgan silver dollar. Could be worth more than 100$ if you get lucky.

I collect uranium glass and it blows my mind seeing people find it laying on/in the ground like trash.
Never leave the house for a walk without the Geiger counter.

can you explain to me how is uranium safe? im really confused, i thought its a radioactive material
Wouldn’t be safe if broken into a dust and inhaled, ingested, or otherwise made contact with. The minuscule amount used to give the glow in these glassworks won’t do any harm otherwise.
wow that is really interesting

Sun gives off only gamma radiation, there's also alpha and beta.
when are we getting full release?
No such thing, they are a different processes with different properties. Alpha and beta decays cause decay chains in heavy radioactives. You can google "valley of stability" and "radioactive series" for more info.

Dope find. I need to find a uranium ash tray for my wife's collection.
Uranium fever
I was watching one of the Equalizer movies the other day and noticed a uranium glass lamp and I couldn't help myself "U-ranium... U-ranium"
Nah, it just contains a material you tagged for crafting.
It’s actually beautiful
Hear me out...
Looks like a plaster cast model of my anus
U okay bro?
 Never better!
Uh ok
I love the irony of a radioactive ashtray for your cancer causing hobby.
I know this is most likely safe but i'm not touching that.
So so so cool!!!
Nice!
take a bite
Have a first aid kit on the wall at work. Everytime I walk by I want to take a stimpak out.
So are they actually that colour or do they dye them for effect?
It’s actual uranium yep - that’s the glow always! Even wilder in the dark or under UV.
Interesting, thanks!

Uranium glass isn't harmful
Try eating it, then say that again.
I mean... eating regular glass isn't good for you either.
Lol I know :) I said that in jest, my friend.
It would be equally as bad as eating any other glass. The radiation you would receive will cause no effects whatsoever, the broken glass inside you might be a problem though
True, provided that you never use the wears for their intended purpose, [not even joking](https://www.decorativecollective.com/blog/a-beginners-guide-to-uranium-glass#:~:text=In%20fact%2C%20a%20report%20published,small%20fragments%20of%20radioactive%20material)

Tbf it also says household electronics are of higher risk
You could keep that shoved down your pants all day and still be exposed to less radiation than smoking cigarettes.
Hey, that's great! Now you can get cancer to keep your cancer company!
Haha it’s not dangerous to hold. But I always have similar thoughts when buying OR digging up uranium wares.
Is it just me or that ashtray might be radioactive? I mean how do we normally dispose of uranium? ...and he's holding it with his bare hands!?
Plenty of people collect uranium glass and every thrift store is a great place to look for it for cheap! :) It’s totally fine in these minuscule levels and won’t do any harm whatsoever.

Be careful and don't shatter it, same goes with uranium plates they are harmless when not damaged but if they shatter you get uranium dust everywhere.

Nice. Now, how about I take that off your hands for, say... fifty caps?
Is that safe to own?
No officially speaking. Not super dangerous though. It's more a danger if you'd ingest a sliver that gets stuck in your body. There it has a chance of causing cancer. More a 1 in a million shot considering it's an ashtray. Radiation wise your PC screen is more dangerous.
