Two open questions are the damping factor for the pendulum (how many 
cycles do you see after you blow on it, before it settles?) and does 
your amplifier provide enough gain?

Hertz means cycles per second.  Seconds can refer to the period of one 
cycle (as you use it, above), but it can also refer to time constant 
of a filter.  Then it refers to seconds per radian.  There are 2*pi 
radians in a cycle.

Someone with more experience in seismology will have to help with these.
