hey guys I'm the silver guy and this video is about 20 overlooked ways to get silver and gold I've got
a lot of videos on how to get silver gold for free and cheap and everything all kinds of stuff it's
not everything um so let's jump right in the first one how do you go to garage sales thrift
stores rummage sales etc but are you checking the belt buckles some of the belt buckles are could be
silver next one I'm brown the heads and the cane heads they can also be silver um when you go into
Goodwill or some type of those stores it might be like a kind of like a box with a bunch of old
glasses in it when you're in there you should look at them really carefully because some of
the old eyeglasses could actually be gold so if you're not looking you could be really missing out
another one is pitchers um here's a good example I have a picture here and this has a sterling silver
base and it says sterling right there I cannot presume the camera and at the end of the video
and show you so don't forget that next one is a lot of watches they might not look like silver
gold especially if it's white gold one time I my neighbor was having a yard sale this was years
ago and there's his watch it said seven five oh and I didn't know that that was 18 karat gold so
I actually went home and this is before I had an iPhone and I looked it up and seven five Oh is 18
karat gold so I went back to my neighbor's house where he was having a yard sale and I bought the
gold watch so be very mindful watches and seven five I was 18-karat five eight five that means
14-karat four and seven 10 karat cetera so um the next one is sometimes companies will have
like these old lapel pins and stuff and they might not literally look that nice but they
can be gold like ten karat gold or something so really keep your eye open for those the next one
is old pens and a lot of you guys probably already know this but when you see these old pens go ahead
and open them up look inside of them because if once you take the cap off or whatever and look
be really careful obviously this is not gold pin but you might find a gold 14-carat or something
on them somewhere so the next one is if you see any type of like statue or anything like that
some of those are actually made out of silver so look over really carefully and see if it's
it might actually be like few words over another one and I've actually gotten half dollars silver
half dollars this way and I've actually gotten on even silver eagles if you whenever you go to a gas
station you should generally ask do you have any half dollars okay someone might have like reaching
to their change or whatever and spend some silver half dollars now you're not going to get a lot
of silver this way most likely but there was one time I guess a new me because I've been doing it
so much and they actually had some silver eagles in there I guess someone I spent them for a dollar
because silver eagle is legal tender so the next one is old flutes be really careful when you're
looking like it even if you might even possibly even get this at a pawn shop if they don't know
what they're doing is in all kinds of places or Craigslist whatever look at the old flutes
and some of them are made at you might be made of solder next one I'm not really into this one
but some people are the older computer the better they have a ton of gold in them and that's one I'm
going to say this might one of my favorite ones I guess but I need to well this is a pretty big one
for me if I want to wait till the end for that of that one so the next one is um when you see like
dryers and stuff like that go inside them you got to take it apart and you can actually find jewelry
in them because people been doing their clothes me times then you also find change sometimes too and
but that's a really good way an overlooked way to get jewelry so it'd be really good if you somehow
if there's a scrapper oh you're near your house and if you had a way to access them and if they
let you that'd be a really good way to get silver and gold jewelry so the other idea it's a little
out there but maybe you could do it I haven't done this but if you could get a like work a deal out
with a commercial laundromat type thing and see if you could offer free you know like taking care of
all the lint and everything like that for the dryers and if perhaps and then you could like
keep whatever's there it would not surprise me if you could get silver jewelry and gold jewelry
and change that way from doing it cleaning out you know helping someone who owns a laundromat
so and this one this sounds though out there but I have a friend who used to use to be able to do
this and you know those like at gas stations I'll have those commercial vacuums well when
people vacuum the cars out they vacuum out all kinds of stuff so if you can somehow you can have
a business that cleaned them out or something and then you could take the dirt and step through the
dirt and be like modern-day gold silver and change my name I actually read of one story
and don't do this but I guess someone came up with another vacuum and hooked it up and suck the stuff
out but I would not recommend doing I think they got a trouble arrested or something so stay legal
guys the next one and this is what I talk about a lot is half-dollars there's a ton of ways and
I already mentioned it for the gas stations and I've gone through probably tens of thousands of
dollars of half dollar sorting them and getting different banks and points or machines and stuff
like that I didn't watch my other videos to see more about that I'm saving my favorite one or if
this other one for last I think but I'm the next one is utensil handles there's a lot of utensils
on might be like a spatula or something like that and it might have like a sterling silver handle
this right here this is a sterling silver mirror okay with that being said I want to talk about a
really good way to get silver guys this is big and a lot of people probably pass this up when
you are go to garage sales thrift stores etc and you go and you see all this jewelry there's a lot
of silver play knife handles and there's a lot of sterling silver knife handles and you can
find a lot of sterling silver knife games and as a typical sterling silver knife handle might have
roughly a half an ounce of silver in it this one looks kind of BIG's this one might be 3/4 with
two rounds this one looks bigger this one might be closer door outs guys you can get this like a lot
of times like garage sales and stuff they have like people with all you know like older people
or whatever or people who aren't trained and it guys is really hard to see the sterling handle
on here in writing especially it gets tarnished and you can hardly make it out I believe this one
I actually found from a thrift store and guys the way one way to see it is when you take it and you
take it and you kind of turn it into light and it can help the words it's kind of jump out of
you so I want to take the camera in closer and show you guys a little bit of sterling work but
this is a way to do it because you go in there and there be like a bin of jewelry I mean I've
been up like you know forks knives spoons like that and a lot of people you know they like
they might take up the knives and be like oh you know sterling okay anyway you know pick those out
but some people might not see the writing on the knife handles and that is a very good way to rack
up your silver and you know help your collection so I want to try to hopefully be able to show you
some of these marks you can see what I'm talking about look you can come in with me basically so
we take this and guys this is kind of hard to see I'm going to hopefully be able to show you
can you see that sterling handle right there you got barely got some
of the words in there make sure you see sterling when you do it this right here
let's see it you move the light back and forth and see how it shows up and right here come here and
guys sometimes you might be looking at silverware and stuff like that and you might see coin or 900
that means it's 90% silver okay so let me just see if I can show you just kind of have to move
it in the light move it right there you see that writing right there and then on this picture right
here basically let me see sometimes guys the hard to find so if you can see that see if I move in
the light you can kind of see the letters pop out this is sterling guys these are some really good
ways to get silver just I mean if you end guys it more if you want to be really successful at silver
what you need to do is you need to have a really good knowledge and you need to learn more than
other people do about silver you need to really expand your knowledge base you need to know that
like three three towers hallmark you know that's a that's a silver mark for I think Denmark you know
there's like all this like obscure knowledge that then your normal people won't really know and the
more you can learn that the more silver you'll be able to get while all the other silver and gold
hunters they are just left out and they don't really um you know they miss out and you get it
so guys hopefully you learn something if you like it I would really appreciate a thumbs up it really
helps me out and if you all if you have any better ideas please put them down in the comments below
