A geiger counter
To be fair, it wasn't expensive and I've always wanted one.

So far I have used it to confirm that there's more background radiation in Devon than there is in Sussex.

And that's all. So not really a useful purchase.

You could make your own CR-39 radiation detector, where it would prove there is much more radon
in Devon than in Sussex. Or buy a book on UK geology.
