I need a scale

[Felinepeachy]

Can anyone tell me what type of scale I should be using for typical metal detecting finds? The little meat scale I use weighs in oz's so I use it for kitten weighing. Where do I get another kind? What type? etc. How much are they?

Peachy, I highly recommend this scale, it weighs in grams, grains, ozs,dwt,mg,ozt. It does it all, comes with a calibration weight, which I only used first time.
I will get you the website and add to this post. The individual selling gave fast, excellent service.

Peachy, since Kellyco is a sponsor of this site I will email you where I got mine from. I looked at Kellyco's and you would be looking for a pocket scale, price range in the 30-40+ dollar range if you are talking about weighing your ancients, found coins, rings and possible in the future gold nuggets.

I do suggest getting one that weighs also in grains at .1grain increments, most places do not include the Grain measurement on their scale, including the ones I saw on Kellyco, if they have one and in your price range, that would be excellent, but I will e-mail you privately with the website I bought mine from.

Try places like Harbor Freight Tools $12 or Kellyco, or most of the prospecting sites/stores. they're out there and cheap too!

You can also try your local tobaco store they sell them for "tobaco use only" they are normaly next to the pretty glass pipes, also "for tobaco use only".

Also I'm told some adult bookstores cary them also for the same reson.

I bought one on eBay from Digital Snail's ebay store. If I remember correctly, it cost about $15 with shipping. As Don said, make sure it measures in both grains and grams. Mine also has ounces. Here is the link to their eBay items for sale: http://search.ebay.com/_W0QQsassZdigitalsnail

There is a bunch of " smoke shops" at any flea market. They all sell scales. You know to weigh your smoking needs. They are anywhere from $20.00 to about $40.00. Real nice battery operatded. They weigh in grams onces or penny weights . I can't figure out why you need to weigh your tobbaco. But then why would you ware?? a gas mask with a caped off tube on the end of it to smoke? 8) Mike.
