Apparently wristwatch-sized detectors also exist, and there was a case in Czech Republic that an walking-by engineer accidentally found a missing radiation source in the wild using his watch, it was buried in a playground [0], unbelievable!

Fascinating story. The detector used in this case appears to be a Polimaster PM1208.
