Actually, Hutto isn't too far from North Austin. You could go to McBrides and check out the guns, and then move over to the other side of the building and buy some silver and/or gold bullion. Sounds like a win/win road trip for you.

Watch out for tungsten!
I do. I buy the tig welding tips. Snap little chunks off. Stick in the end of a hollow point 22lr.
It doesn't work. It won't even go through a circular saw blade at 20ft. Chunks of drill bit don't work either. 17HMR will burn through the same stuff that stops the "tipped" 22lr

Fake Gold Bars Are Being Sold In New York - Business Insider
Just make sure to buy from someone reputable.

Lol. Cool. you have never known unless you tried. I buy a little bit of gold and silver every now and then. I am always on the lookout at yard sales I have found a lot of silver browsing at yard sales. if I'm walking by a coin shop I'll stop in and buy a round. I just hate pain taxes on it in Texas. I am still trying to get used to that
LMAO, Mex....your not helping.
Check out Bullion Direct. I have bought some and left it in "holding"; since they are located in Texas you will pay sales tax on any order under $1,000 but that won't affect you. They charge a 1% commission on bullion; Gold Line charges 5%. My recommendation is to stay away from coins or "numismatic / semi-numismatic" items, their value is above the weight in gold/silver as they are considered collectible. With that said the value fluctuates in regards to perceived market value, not actual gold/silver prices.
Bullion is the only way to go, IMO. I have some stashed away but not enough. Hell two months ago silver as $27/oz now it is at ~$35.5/oz. Similar % variance with gold. If you buy local do not pay more than 3% over current market value for bullion or it will be cheaper to buy online.
I have used both Gold Line and Bullion Direct, go with Bullion Direct and skip the BS with Gold Line.

I haven't done this yet, but I think I'd try to find a local jeweler and see if he'd sell you scrap slightly below spot. At least that's my plan of obama gets re-elected. I think gold is going to lose it's hysteria pricing influence if Romney is.
Precious metals have been on the rise since since early 2004 (President Bush's fault?) and won't bust anytime soon, loose some value maybe but not bust. Their value is too high in the commercial and industrial sector, hell China alone can have a big influence. Seriously, just watch China's manufacturing numbers vs. gold & silver prices.
Also keep an eye out for "junk" silver; coins, flat wear, etc. Most collectors are not as interested in them which leaves the price a little lower. As the others have said, take physical possession. The biggest bs in precious metals is gold stocks, don't even bother.

My parents neighbor retired 10 years ago and his hobby is panning for gold, he accumulates roughly $250,000 a year from his hobby and he WILL NOT tell anyone where he pans for it. He has a pocket watch that he calls his "retirement" watch, when you open it all the guts are removed and it's solid gold inside. when people ask him what time it is he whips that thing out and says "oh look at that I really don't give f!@# what time it is i'm retired".
