I have not used this device, but it seems to work,

And, FWIW, I have doubts about testing two different items at the same time, as he did with the two Maria Theresa Thalers. However, the 100 oz'er came out almost perfect.

I have no commercial interest in this product.

    Everything he did is correct. He weighed the 2nd coin and tested it by difference, which is fine. It's a completely valid setup and the results are correct. I used to be an analytical chemist, and this is correct.

    Cool set up. Seems like this is becoming more a necessity than ever before. I have no connection to the product or sales effort, but I do know the seller. He is local to me and is one of the good guys.

    I have been chatting with the dealer who is selling these about some of the details as to how it works, and it does seem to be the real thing.

    If it catches two bad 10 ounce silver bars it has paid for itself.

    I am thinking about getting one as well.

    Being able to check items at or about an ounce - like the Maria Theresa Thalers - if a big selling point for me. I have loads of small ingot to test.

    Because it is a bit time consuming to set up the wet weight apparatus, it occurs to me that if you had a large number of items to test, just get a second, simple digital scale to take your dry weight on for each piece first, and then use this gizmo to take the wet weights.

    I think I shall suggest it to the manufacturer.
