Finding Free or Discounted Precious Metals

Buying or finding precious metals for extremely cheap is fun, exciting and rewarding. Personally I have found gold & silver in the most unlikeliest of places. Sometimes I have gotten a really great deal or just plain got them for free. Some of the places precious metals can be found are right underneath our noses. I have listed just a few of the places I have picked up gold/silver on the cheap.

1. Banks, yes I said it, banks! Sometimes purchasing rolled half dollars can net you a few or a lot of 90% silver coins. Banks just roll coins and do not usually check if the coins are silver or not. I have picked up lots of silver this way. Try with other types of coins if you like as well.

2. Yard sales - Sometimes you can find a great score at the neighborhood yard sale. Most people are not aware of precious metal values and I once picked up a box of old coins for a few dollars, got home and realized I had a worn looking 1 oz American Gold Eagle in the mix. Not to bad for only spending $3.00

3. Metal detecting - I have not done this yet but do know some people that have (I am seriously considering purchasing a metal detector.) Lots of treasures have been found using this method from finding rare coins, jewelry and historical artifacts. Things like this can be found in the woods, on the beaches, parks, or maybe even in your own backyard.

So above are just some of the few places you can locate free or discounted precious metals. Do you have a story on a big score? We would love to hear from you.
