Do you own old gold jewelry and scrap gold pieces that are sitting in your garage, practically forgotten? Do you own broken bracelets and necklaces you’re unable to wear, but unwilling to have repaired? Are there old class rings hiding away in your dresser drawers? Rather than allowing these gold items to sit in the corner of your garage or drawer, consider selling them. There are many gold buyers who are willing to pay for your entire collection.

Tough economic times give birth to creative measures for making ends meet. You may have bills that are piling up because the hours at your job have been reduced. Your car might need repairs to transport you to a job you can’t afford to lose. Or, you might want to enjoy a vacation with your family, but lack the funds to do so. Selling your gold is a good method for raising the money you need in order to do what you want. Below, we’ll describe four places you can sell your scrap gold.

1. Gold Parties

If you’re invited to a gold party, the host is likely a friend or family member. In most cases, a buyer will have encouraged this person to host the event, and invite people they know. The host will tell invitees to bring their scrap gold pieces to sell for quick cash, even if the items are broken or otherwise in disrepair. Those who attend the event can sell these pieces to the buyer, and leave the party with a check in hand.

At first, this process seems beneficial for everyone involved. The attendees get to sell their gold items for near-instant cash, and the host earns a small commission for hosting the party. The downside to these events is that the buyer is typically a broker. He or she needs to sell your pieces for a profit. In order to do so, however, they can only pay a small amount. Thus, you’ll rarely receive the money you deserve.

2. Pawnshops

Pawn shops cope with the same limitation. After buying your scrap gold pieces, they put them up for sale for customers who visit their shops. The difference between the amount they pay you, and the amount they charge their customers, represents their profit. This means, like the buyer at the gold party, pawn shop owners will rarely offer much for your collection.

3. Jewelers And Antique Stores

Another option is to sell your gold watches, rings, chains, and other jewelry to a jeweler or antique store. There are two problems with this route, however. First, jewelers and antique stores tend to be picky regarding the pieces they buy. This is because they need to sell your jewelry to their customers, who tend to be selective. Unfortunately, this means they will likely refuse to buy your entire collection.

Second, their profit margins require that they pay a relatively low price for your items. They may be willing to pay more than a pawn shop for particular pieces in your collection, but few of your gold items will meet their selection criteria.

4. Gold Refiner

A better option is to look online for a buyer. The key is to avoid buyers who are merely middlemen. They will offer a low price for your scrap gold, and then sell it to a refiner for a profit. Few people realize they can work directly with a refiner, and thus remove the middleman. The result? You’ll enjoy a higher price for your scrap.

Some refiners are much more experienced and efficient than others. The litmus test to use is whether the refiner has at least ten years of experience in the gold industry. Check their website, and look for a phone number. Call them to gain a level of comfort before sending them your scrap gold. Once you find a trustworthy refiner with plenty of experience, you’ll be able to return to them in the future whenever you wish to sell your scrap precious metals.

Because metal detectors are designed for specific environments, you’ll first need to consider where you plan to do most of your hunting. For example, you’ll need a metal detector that works on soil if you plan to hunt on land for Civil War relics.

Also, gold hunters will want to get a gold-specific metal detector if they want to search the Old West for gold nuggets. When you are looking for a metal detector, it will help you the most to get online and look at all of the metal detectors you have available for your perusal. Pick three or four you want to thoroughly investigate, and then go onto metal detecting forums with questions for the other users about these metal detectors.

You might find quite a few people who use those specific metal detectors and can tell you why they prefer to use them, as well as any downsides the machines have. At the same time, these opinions will be far from objective, so take them with a grain of salt. You might have to decide based on how much they will ultimately cost.

Similar to asking which car someone prefers, a Ford or Chevy, you’ll be talking to enthusiasts who are devoted to one brand or another. This first-hand information will be invaluable in choosing the best detector for your needs.

I didn’t want to chance it so I bought a detector that was designed to be fully waterproof, although these can cost a fair bit I found a second hand one for $600 that was worth $1200 new.

I decided to purchase a second-hand machine that I could use in salt and fresh water for $700 to avoid shelling out $1,200 to $1,400 for a new detector. Waterproof up to 200 feet, this water detector does not have a visual display, which means every find is based on different tones that the machine emits.

If you start out with a fair priced metal detector and fall in love with the hobby as I did, you will be able to upgrade and not feel like you lost too much money on your first, you may even be like me and discover you enjoy a different type of detecting and so the first metal detector you buy wont be a waste but just a different type of unit that you can still use when you head out to those specific areas.
