Re: Obsidian
Geo, The ratio doesn¡¯t mean too much to me as I can¡¯t tell signal from noise without a spectra to look at. The count needs to be baseline corrected. Net area would be a better way to look at it

It is transparent with the streaks you see. The dark area in the center is the putty holding it up. According to some collectors I have talked to online this is probably a desert side notch between

Charles/ Geo Attached is an assay and picture of my Obsidian Point #2 which is clear with dark streaks much like the one Charles ran. The Pb content of this point is only 32 ppm with Fe at 3989, Rb

Re: Trinitite
I agree it is Ba not Cs. I made a mistake (actually my brain slipped into gamma spec mode for a second, Ba comes from Cs but by decay not XRF- Duh!), and as you mention the report is accurate enough

Re: Trinitite
Geo, I believe if you look in log space you¡¯ll see your new low is Si at 1.74. No Mg there however.. Also the Cs is the Ba Ka1 Ka2 and maybe the start of the Ba Kb1 at 36.3. Not enough count time or

Re: Obsidian
Geo, Try readjusting your gain so the max energy will be 63 keV or so. That will handle both Am and the 50 kV tube without having to set up things again. You¡¯re losing a lot of resolution by running
