Where do you take gold rings for the best $ price?

[The Digger]

Where does everybody exchange their gold and diamond rings for cash in order to get what they are really worth? Any help would be great! Thanks Dave

for any Canucks interested, I take mine or you can ship, to Imperial Smelter in Richmond Hill Ont, they pay 98% of spot price but do charge an assay fee of $75 to $125, which is good if you have a fair amount, 1 or 3 rings would not be worth it.

There are many places to sell your hard found gold items but beware. First selling when you are desperate you will most likely get the worst deal( I have done this). I have always heard the best from guys here at on other water detecting forums that Midwest Refiners is consistently the best to deal with. Those who recommend selling to a local jeweler I have to at least question if they have other experiences to compare to. I have sold to local gold dealers and even pawn shops and individuals along with sending it off. I have to say the old bird in the hand feels really good, by that I mean selling locally you get your money now.

I recommend that holding on to your finds can give many benefits that may not be evident now. I am unable to get into the water due to medical problems. I wish I had held onto most of my finds to look back on and remember the good times I'm unable to repeat. Also I sold most of my many, many ounces of gold at $300-350, not counting the rings we sold to individuals. Today it would of course be worth much more. With the economy going down and the money supply going way up I believe holding now may be a very smart thing to do. I often said half was finding it the other half is selling it.

If you have stones in rings the best thing you can do is get a jeweler's loop and start studying so you don't give them away. Best to all, Mike.
