Sigh...why do I like all the most expensive shiney things...:0
...but I do like the crime scene scale...and at the price it seems a shame not to have one...just in case...few more days and it is pay day!!!

Don't forget to buy the two-sided one, I need one of those so I can show beads to scale in diameter and height in one fell swoop.

Isn't it taking all the fun out of writing sites up if people start putting north in the right direction on their plans/photos/context sheets? Has always fascinated me how the average digger can't even work out where the sun is.....

Not a hard choice really Hosty...would have to be the sighting compass for me.
The ball compass looks really useful if you have to consider weight/how much personal kit you are carrying and how general a task you are doing, but if you have a compass out there's a reson for having it therefore I'd like to make sure I was super accurate!
You may just find an order winging it's way to you...
Do you ever use a mils protractor for resections?

Mils Protractors... ah.. the good old days of hand doing things...
I honestly can't remember the last time I used one... probably when I was young

Are you going to start an 'Oldies' line for us traditionalists (ok, older persons) who don't get all the buttons, stuff like Artillery Levels and the like? :face-approve:
