    Nugget scale - portable

    Harbor Freight has the portable scale on sale for $9.99 usually $15.00. I have one for my nugget finding. It works great. Good to 0.1 gm, max = 1000 gm.

    goldfinder,
    Thank you for the post, I've needed a digital scale and for 10.00 plus tax I think I will give this a whirl.

    i also bought one of these for while out in the feild. these are cheap for sure but dont expect to use one of these for weighing gold that you want to sell or buy. these dont have a good repeatability and as for the accuracy, it is questionable for me! i wouldnt buy gold from someone that was using it! and not from most of these cheaper models that you see for sale either. i prbly have 5 or 6 scales and most of them i wouldnt use to weight anything that i need a accurate weight for.and its got to repeatable trys or its no good!but i do like these little scales for weighing my gold while out dredgeing for an APPROXIMATE weight for my own curiosity! you get what you pay for!

    That and gold is sold in Troy weight not metric, at least anywhere I sell to, unless you go to a jeweler and then your getting ripped off. Spot price is even in Troy.

    Here is a scale I have been using for field for some time and it seems accurate enough when compared to certified brass.

    Mr. Russau,
    I ran a calibration test on my HF $10 scale. I have a set of official Ohaus calibrated weights. The little cheapie HF scale was right on down to 0.1 gram. Plenty accurate for me. I'd stand by it on any nugget sale or test.

    PS maybe you should learn how to calibrate it. You can buy a nice 500 gram weight off eBay and calibrate your scale.

    Let's sweeten the offer a little more. Take this coupon to HF with you. I have never been asked for an insider track club membership card.
