For the purposes a very low background experiments recently mined lead is radioactive enough to be a problem because the lead-210 daughter of the radon chain is generally present. This makes lead from classical roman shipwrecks (known to have been above ground for many half-lives) valuable for such specialized purposes. | |

The Cavendish experiment is only being done in high schools and on the college level these days, there are far more precise experiments of its kind. Some of the best versions are being done at the University of Washington: npl.washington.edu/eotwash | |
