In a few pictures of MD finds, I've seen a small black ruler with white measurement marks in both inches and CMs.
It is a great way to show how big or small the find is.
Of course I can't find an example now.
Is anyone aware of where I can find one?

That is exactly what I was looking for. However they, and some folks on EBay, also are really proud of them.

I may have to figure out something else.

Thanks for sending me in the correct direction.

You could also try to find a kids ruler at a Staples or something. I've seen some that are a large font and don't cover as many micro measurements so it's easy to see on camera.

I found a website with printable rulers. All in metric but still perfectly usable.
On the site they call them "Evidence" rulers.

Thanks for the help.
