North Pines Gold 22 Posted September 3, 2017 Share Posted September 3, 2017 I'm looking for a scale to weigh my gold finds. What's the best one that everyone agrees on? Thanks ---------------------------- Jim Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Mike Furness 1,513 Posted September 3, 2017 Share Posted September 3, 2017 I picked up my good one from Amazon ... it's called ...Smart Weight High Precision Milligram Jewelry Scale. It is very accurate ... have a jeweler friend with whom I compared the scale. Exact right down to .02 grains. Comes with a case and Two 20 g calibration weights, batteries and a pair of tweezers. The scales also has a plastic cover that flips up/down to protect the important parts from dust. It is digital and has the ability to weight and add multiple pieces. You might check Walmart online as well .... I think mine was about $35. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

chrisski 846 Posted September 4, 2017 Share Posted September 4, 2017 Also check the readings. Should read to at least .01 grams. One gram is $35, .1 gram is $3.50, and .01 gram is $.35. Some of the scales for sale do not read to at least .01. The scales also have a max weight of a couple ounces, but if you're just using it for gold, probably won't be a factor. If you're also using it to bake with it will. If you find a nugget heavier than that, you can always get another scale. 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
