Specific Gravity help needed

[GA_Boy]

I purchased two metal candle holders today at a thrift store. It is a shiny ,heavy, metal with a hole drilled for a candle. I think it may be Stainless Steel but not totally sure.
I put one in a measuring cup and it displaces 1/2 cup of water.
I weighed it (in ounces) on my digital scale and it weighs 16.17 ounces.
This is where I need help as I have no idea how to find the Specific Gravity and see if it close to Stainless Steel. BTW, I paid 50 cents each for them. Stickers on bottom = Made in India.http://

Thanks, Marvinhttp://

I used to be able to do this, but it's pretty late. I do know that you have to suspend the candle holder from a string in the water and not just plop it in. I'll see if I can find a video showing you how to do that.

If they're hollow you won't get an accurate measurement unless you can get all the air out.

Nice finds! Just so you know, the density of rhodium is about 12... Very bright white and reflective metal... $2200/oz Ya never know![emoji3]

Not hollow but Solid except for the drilled hole.
