Usual caveat:
Da geiger counter can give false indications (like most any other
device more sophisticated than a light bulb....) in the high fields
around an operating coil. Its got amplifiers, which are subject to
"spoofing" by the fields. So any indication should be backed up with
other tests. "electrometer" style indicators (either reed/dosimeter
or the meter style are somewhat subject to the same spoofing. A
film badge, but that needs controlled processing and interpretation
to be meaningfull...
