    Take your own weight on a household scale. Then take your weight holding the rock. Subtract the first number from the second and you will have the weight of the rock.

    do you have or know someone who has a scale to to weigh themselves with? If not ,can probably get one at a thrift store or off craigslist for cheap
    Either get a plastic tote and put the rocks in it to weigh it on the scale or weigh a few pieces at a time and add them up. Best thing I can tell ya

    edit:lol.. or can do it the way target suggested

    LOL, no worries. I have used that method as a quick way to check what my son weighs. Its not 100% accurate, but it is close enough.
