Just tried a GS35b sitting on a plate of metal with a suitable hole in it. I 
propped a couple of pieces vertically a couple of inches away to look like 
box walls. Using a network analyser at 10MHz, it says about 18pF. As a check, 
the same probe arrangement measures a 22pF chip cap at 23pF.

My own rule of thumb is to double the datasheet Cag.
