It has ranges of x1, x10 and x100 which gave a range of 500, 5,000 and 50,000 cpm or also 1, 10 and 100 percent ore concentration. The unit measured 4” x 7.5” x 4.5” and weighed 5.5 lbs. It has an option of a drill hole probe and cable in 100, 250 and 500-foot lengths. A regular probe is standard or an optional directional gun-type probe with two Geiger tubes for $189. It came with a small radiation source attached to back of the unit in a plastic case. The unit could also be purchased with an optional “prospecting stick” to reach into inaccessible areas. The developer claims it could even be used from horseback. Fisher "Uranium Scout" (1950 - 1955) The “Uranium Scout” Model T was a neat looking prospector’s GM manufactured by the Fisher Research Laboratory, Inc. of Palo Alto California. There is a small check source in a plastic holder that is fixed by a chain to the case. The instructions with the check source read: “Scout: Place at center slot on side of box. Scout De Luxe: Place over test spot on probe.” Since the probe has a small black test spot on the side, and since there is no slot on the case, it would seem that this is the “Scout De Luxe.” There are two controls: a range switch (Off, x1, x 10, x100) and a sensitivity/calibration adjust. Detector: Aluminum thin-walled GM tube (Victoreen 1B85) enclosed in bakelite probe that attaches to the side of the case.
