Janne M. KorhonenThis sign raises many questions, which probably should be answered by the sign but aren't

reini@jmkorhonen.fi When something can be seen by Geiger counters at a distance (6 ft of ground), there is a real high radiation level.
lankohr@jmkorhonen.fi So the Zombieapocalypse is nothing supernatural but made by humans not handling science correctly.
schrotthaufen@jmkorhonen.fi @deuxcvsix Place is haunted, Geiger counters tick to Never Gonna Give You Up
Dexruus@jmkorhonen.fi "Good thing, that this thing is labled as an EMF meter, so Iam good."
Sue ArcherI wonder if someone local found out about granite being mildly radioactive, and it set off a wave of locals coming to check....
IanGood point!

Xenia0040@[email protected] it's called a "demon core" for a reason
Thomas Sturm@jmkorhonen.fi I mean... banning metal detectors I'd understand. But Geiger counters?
Twotired@tsturm @jmkorhonen.fi Maybe whoever wrote the sign doesnβt understand that theyβre different things?
@Twotired @jmkorhonen.fi Yep, this sounds like the most probable reason for this sign. Hilarious that it made it through the whole process of getting a sign made and nobody caught that. π
JakobT@tsturm @Twotired @jmkorhonen.fi That was my thought too. The alternative may be a fatal incident not reported to the International Atomic Energy Agency π€ π«£π
Raymond Russell@tsturm @Twotired @jmkorhonen.fi
AI assisted sign?
@raymierussell @Twotired @jmkorhonen.fi Probably more mental mismatch of Geiger Counter and Metal Detector. I can totally see myself do that in conversation... π
David Croyle@jmkorhonen.fi Ummmm...
Zaphod BeeblebroxOne would expect a Reform church to be a little more tolerant of people with a penchant for radioactivity.
nonbinarycoder@jmkorhonen.fi they don't want anyone finding out about the radioactive ghosts
gnate@jmkorhonen.fi SILVER CROSSES NOT PERMITTED
@jmkorhonen.fi Old metal produced before the fist atom bomb is very useful for
production of Geiger counters.
Search where counter is silent.
geolaw@jmkorhonen.fi Maybe the Geiger family lived in the area and a lot of family members are buried there?
Extreme Electronics@geolaw @jmkorhonen.fi we are not sure how many, but hey we have this...
Tadeusz Sikora@jmkorhonen.fi there was Saxton Nuclear Generating Station near Fannettsburg, PA, some 50 km. But I'm not sure if its related.

@jmkorhonen.fi I wouldn't have thought to bring a geicer counter, but this sign would prompt me to absolutely do so!
Thorne Lawler@jmkorhonen.fi @Unixbigot [hypothesis] Are there, perhaps, many people in this specific graveyard with the surname βGeigerβ?
John Faithfull ππͺπΊπ΄σ §σ ’σ ³σ £σ ΄σ Ώπ§‘βπ»βπΏ@jmkorhonen.fi scintillation counters fine though!
Florian 'floe' Echtler@jmkorhonen.fi There's a whole horror franchise about Frankenstein 2.0 and irradiated body parts behind that sign. Paging @cstross .

π enkidu π€@jmkorhonen.fi churches are not places of honour?
Isaac Freeman@jmkorhonen.fi Most modern Geiger counters can be switched to a special mode where they measure holiness instead of radioactivity. People go around publishing league tables of the holiest churches. Then all the parishioners try to go to the holiest churches and there's no room for them all. But lots of good moderately-holy churches are losing their congregations and closing down. It's a bad situation all round.
ben dafydd gillard@jmkorhonen.fi Fannettsburg is about 60 miles from Harrisburg (three mile island) and there are also several Uranium mines further east in pennsylvania. I guess either someone radioactive is thought to be buried there or prospectors are hoping to find uranium.
Tor Lillqvist@jmkorhonen.fi The mixup with metal detectors is the likely cause. Was mentioned on Threads, too:
"Early metal detectors were erroneously called geiger counters and the name has stuck around in some circles."
DeltaWye@jmkorhonen.fi Buried workers from that factory where the women painted watches and meters with radium paint?
Marcos Dione@jmkorhonen.fi maybe Maria SkΕodowska is buried there?
Michael BuschThis seems relevant to @funranium 's interests.
Stylus@jmkorhonen.fi various user pages have speculated about the meaning of this sign but without conclusion e.g., https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User_talk:Ruhrfisch/Archive_40#Just_too_much_curiosity,_I_guess

If I were somewhat close, I would go there and give my geiger counters a spin π

Maybe they used uranium tailings for burial dirt?
