Also a visiting woman sent the instrument off the clock when being checked out of the building, the found it was her Lapis Lazul jewelery. I think I got the right jem stone, it had been her grandmothers, and probably earlier. He was at the time CEO of British Nuclear Fuels. Ian S C The only time I ever set off the alarm in a hand monitor trying to get out of a radioactive facility it turned out to be my wrist watch, which had a luminous dial, probably 1980's vintage swatch.
