Further tests confirmed hot spots in the sample so the geiger counter was readjusted on the seaweed sample yielding a top reading of 0.808 uSv/hr, with a background reading of around 0.21 uSv/hr.

Testing in the CPM mode of this sample will be posted soon.  A test with a stainless steel pad sandwiched between the detection device and the sample will also be performed to try and discern the kind of radiation (alpha, beta, gamma) causing the reading.
