He he! I got a talking to back in 2004 for investing 10% a non profits $ in a metals fund.

It is the ONLY thing that hasn't tanked in last year

Of course, now is the time to start selling thirds ..

I'm going to buy a metal detector. Use it when I go fishing at the lake or the beach.

Easy:

Go to the coin shop, buy GENERIC 1 oz silver coins. Don't pay over $.99 over spot price. If you want a specific coin to buy then go for the silver american eagle. US mint coins millions of these each year. However, sometimes its difficult to get them without insane markups. I wouldn't pay over 1$ over spot for them personally, silver is silver after all.

You should have gotten in along time ago. I was buying Silver Eagle monster boxes (500+ coins per box) at 11$/oz back in the day.

Now we are approaching 30$/oz. Talk about good investment.
