<p>[QUOTE="ksmooter61, post: 26554939, member: 169607"]I sorted the change into 4 coffee cans and wanted to get the weight of the plastic bucket. The pound weight scale wasn't sensitive enough, and it overloaded the gram scale. We don't have an ounce scale, so I tried something else. I got two large plastic containers, the first was just a little bigger than the bucket and the second large enough to hold the first (see pics). I put the first one in the second then filled it to the brim with water. Then I took the bucket and gently set it on top of the water until it was floating with only a light touch of my finger keeping it balanced. Then I removed it and the first container from the second and dumped the displaced water into a measuring cup. It was right at 100 ml. A web conversion ap showed that to be about 3.5 ounces, or .22 pounds. The filled bucket was 28.4 so will take it to 28.2 pounds.</p><p><br /></p><p>Should have the coin counts on Wednesday.</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]1692217[/ATTACH] </p><p>[ATTACH=full]1692218[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
