How many flakes dose it take to equal 1 ounce?

[Sky_Warrior]

I heard they go for 60 a ounce on ebay and I was wondering because I heard you can find lots of flakes in the Michigan creeks. so just wondering if it worth me trying? for some good money

Whats heavier...an ounce of gold or an ounce of feathers?

And if you were transporting this gold and feathers by plane from Mexico and the plane went down right on the Mexico/US border...where would they bury the survivors?

I think these are the two key questions to answer before we figure out how many flakes of gold equal an ounce.

Nice smarty pants
I think the original poster just wanted to see what an ounce of gold flakes looked like, as a reference. Let's not get all bent out of shape here.

I measure gold in troy ounces and feathers in ounces, therefore an ounce of gold weighs more

You wouldn't bury the survivors, only the dead

Now that those questions are answered, you may continue

Measure the flakes in pennyweights...
9 penneyweights makes an ounce.

We've got a couple of flakes at work. So lessee......... 2 flakes = about 505 pounds
