Yes, if you look inside a Coleman lantern you will see one or two
mantels, they are basically ash and easily break. If they break you have
to replace them. They are covered with radioactive thorium.

Marshall,
What is a Coleman Lantern mantel? I've heard of Coleman stoves
and lanterns used in camping... is this the same company?

And yes, if you dig it up and concentrate it into something that is
now highly radioactive, and put it in your pocket, of course you
will suffer consequences. But why would you do that?
Maybe because you didn't know. I carried a Coleman lantern mantel in
my billfold for years before I found out that it is highly
radioactive, giving me the equivalent of an X-ray almost hourly.
