I'm too poor to buy gold. There I said it. Nonetheless I buy silver eagles partly because they're beautiful coins but also I can afford silver.

But is there a point to buying silver now? I was reading a subreddit the other day and kids were saying metals were "something boomers still waste money on".

I mean, seriously?

I picked up a Sigma tester a few months back just for peace of mind.

BTW assuming you don't have the pro version, the classic version has a which displays a number of the raw reading from the probe (hold select while powering up). It's an interesting way of identifying various metals by their resistivity, not just precious metals.

I picked up the Pro mini…I don’t think it has a measurement mode. Still works well, although for some reason they don’t have a setting for .999 silver, just .9999. My silver Krugerrands always read a little off, but other than that it works well.
