Radioactive Dinnerware: Does this plate contain Uranium?

- In this short I am showing that some old dinnerware is radioactive. Commonly known back in the day under the brand name Fiestaware, these plates contain traces of uranium compounds. The beautiful orange color of the glaze is due to those radioactive uranium compounds. To actually proof that the radioactive element used is uranium, I am using a @radiacode 103, which is a scintillation detector. Unlike a simple Geiger counter, the Radiacode can perform gamma spectroscopy. Hereby the device not only measures the amount of radioactive decays, but also measures the energy levels of the decays. The resulting gamma spectrum is a characteristic property for identifying radionuclides.

Does the radiacode 103 detect alpha, beta, and gamma, or only gamma?
The Radiacode detects Beta and Gamma. Alpha traces are optained through secondary x-ray emissions or Bremsstrahlung
