I've used a lot of radiation survey meters, but never that exact model.  *IF* he was reading the meter right, 80mr/hr is actually dangerous.  While performing industrial gamma radiography, we set the boundaries at 2 mr/hr.  Industrial radiographers aren't supposed to get more than 5000 millirem/year, it would be quite easy to surpass even that high limit if that instrument is truly as radioactive as he said.

Was 8000 counts per minute which is about 8 mrem per hr. As an alpha, it's dangerous if ingested.

Ever watch The Poisoners Handbook? Interesting segment about radium.
