The floater of mine is a decent size, when it appears on my computer screen can be the size of a blurry nickle or as small as a very fine dot on my shoulder if I look down.  If I squint I can get a pretty good picture of how it looks, almost like a snail with a tail that balls up in the center and gets very dark.  This 'very dark' portion is the portion I see all the time.  I can see it on my nose if I look down and can even see it if i close my eyes in just a decently lit room or against my hands and limbs at very close ranges.  I'm assuming this means my floater basically is a very small mass sitting almost directly on my retina.  Life sucks sometimes but it's time to move on however from the floaters :)

Good advice, it's something I've been trying to conquer for the last month or so.
