Radioactive Findings with Raysid

Uranium ceramics in antique market. Hunting with Raysid for uranium ceramics at an antique market.

Unknown Xray source. Part 1.
10.04.2021 Wroclaw ul. Krzemieniecka

10:24 Got an alarm event inside my car. There was a high click-rate from the raysid on my belt. Turned back to recheck.

10:28 (video1) Got an alarm again. This time I started to record a video (video with violet numbers for debugging). Click rate rose gradually because I was moving to the source.

10:32 (video2) Trying to find a parking place. Raysid started to scream loudly. I was somewhere near the source (I think so) or just less walls between me and the source.

10:35 (video3) First try to find something. Started near the road. I thought that I passed the source somewhere on the road. Raysid started to scream again. This time I checked the spectrum: one big peak ~50keV. The same 10-20 kCPS.

10:39 (video4) Near the road again. This time I tried to identify the direction by rotation around myself (my body is able to stop some 50keV rays). More-less the direction was identified.

10:42 (video is not published, it has personal information). Near the road. Similar to video3

10:45 (video5) Looks like I found the right direction.

10:50 (video6) I was going to go home. Behind the petrol station CPS was much less. Checked the direction one more time.

10:53 no video recorded. See the screenshot with "start"-"finish" flags. One more event on the way home.

Went home to get more counters. Took one more raysid and radiascan 701. Returned back. Parked more far this time.

11:39 (video7) I'm at an 80-100m distance from a place with maximum values. Still see 2-3kCPS. Metal box cut about a half of the rays. Trying to read any numbers on radiascan in sunlight.

11:45 (video8) Took all counters to one hand to double-check if there was no mistake. No surprise, xrays hit all my counters.

11:49 (video9) One more try to find the source

Waited 10-15 min and went home. Full of impressions.

Actual Raysid Map of that place:

Later I realized that some xray machine (I think so) was switched on every 3 min (screenshot with log records), exposure time ~1min.

Whole day I was thinking what to do with that source, is it really dangerous, and etc. After some talks with colleagues decided to call authorities.
The next morning (10.05.2021) I made a phone call to the National Atomic Energy Agency (a special phone number for accidents).

Edit2:
Thanks to your comments I found the most suitable version:
I caught working industrial NDT device (Non Destructive Testing). There are some videos on YT how it works: 1min of exposure then changing location a bit (2min is enough) and repeat. This procedure can be repeated a lot of times (for example: depends on tested metal tube diameter).

A bit more than usual amount of uranium.
