For gamma radiations: gamma radiometry, gamma spectrometry For fluorescence: irradiation with UV light in a dark room But Becquerel had only photographic plates in 1896.

Is radium common in nature?

Radium is a decay product of uranium and is therefore found in all uranium-bearing ores. (One metric ton of pitchblende yields 0.0001 grams of radium). Radium was originally acquired from pitchblende ore from Joachimsthal, Bohemia, in the Czech Republic. Carnotite sands in Colorado provide some of the element, but richer ores are found in the Democratic Republic of the Congo and the Great Lakes area of Canada, and can also be extracted from uranium processing waste. Large radium-containing uranium deposits are located in Canada (Ontario), the United States (New Mexico, Utah, and Virginia), Australia, and in other places.

How much radium is present in uranium?

Absolutely none. Radium is element #88, while uranium is element #92. They are two completely different entities. If you are referring to uranium ores, it is a different story. The ratio is about 3 metric tons of uranium to 1 gram of radium. Oxygen and other elements are also present in uranium ore. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Uranium#Oxides
