I assume that it's fairly heavy to account for the amount of force behind it when thrown, although that could be attributed to Cap's super-strength. However, I seem to recall an occasion where a normal human being picked it up.
Is there a stated canon for how heavy Captain America's shield is and does this vary between continuities (The Marvel Movie Universe, for example, says that the shield made of a lightweight yet durable alloy).
Answer
According to Marvel Universe:
Captain America's only weapon was his shield, a concave disk 2.5 feet in diameter, weighing 12 pounds.
Marvel Wiki lists it as 10 pounds, but since Marvel Universe is run and curated by Marvel employees, I'd trust that figure more.
