get a electronic scale that reads in grams or micro grams and then use the formulas for the kt. value of your gold

digital gold scales weigh in grains,pennyweights,ounces,according to a mode switch.inexpensive,should be stocked by any prospecting supply store.

You cannot utilize a electronic scale to ascertain the gold content as you have no beam to suspend your sample into a water filled lab beaker to know the precise displacement of your sample for the gold % math-triple beam balances by oHaus are the tool for all uses. El cheapo digital ok for weighing BUT your must have a GOOD one with.001 accuracy and not .01=$1.10 accuracy vs $$11.00 accuracy. Short a miner on gold and you'll never grow old-tons a au 2 u 2 -John

I use a digital scale to determine specific gravity quite often.
