<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Treashunt, post: 172692, member: 6763&quot;]Roy:</p><p>&nbsp; &quot; Precious metals (silver, gold, platinum, etc.) are measured by troy weight:</p><p><br /></p><p>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; * 480 grains - 1 oz.</p><p>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; * 12 oz. = 1 lb. = 5,760 grains</p><p>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; * 1 oz. = 31.05g</p><p>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; * 1g = .0322 oz.&quot;</p><p>&nbsp;You forgot that the pennyweight is also used.</p><p>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; There are 20 pennyweights to an ounce.</p><p>&nbsp;I have gotten used to using this scale since, when I first started metal detecting I would take my gold finds to my brother in NYC, who was in the jewelry industry, and they used pennyweights.</p><p>&nbsp;&nbsp; So, this is just to confuse the matter further.</p><p>Frank[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
