I think that the most accurate method would be to weigh a sample of known
volume, first determining its oven-dry weight and then comparing that to
the weight of the wet desiccant to determine the moisture content of the
wet sample.
A couple or few years ago I was surprised to find a little portable
digital scale "on sale" for under $20 in a The Source store (the remnants
of the Canadian Radio Shack stores) while I was waiting to have some ink
cartridges refilled.
The digital scale indicated a precision of 0.01 grams which should be
sufficient for the task at hand.
If this exercise is deemed too much trouble, then perhaps you can use a
wood moisture meter but it would need to be calibrated.
