Another local park find ... I'm pretty sure its a measure of weight, perhaps from an old gold scale but what do all the markings mean. Anyone know?

CR

P.S I had to clean it cause I scratched it  ::)

    Hi Sskim,

    Yeah, the ETrac for beaches. It handles the wet sand better than the Omega. Unfortunately I haven't hit the beaches for some time since I'm rarely in Brisvegas these days. I'm keen to see how they've changed after the floods ... possibly for the worse  ???
