Golden Opportunities for Buying & Selling Precious Metals

At The Gold Academy we are used to answering a lot of questions about the gold business, but one in particular is "where can you find gold, silver, and coins?" .Well I can tell you that by starting at your own home can be very rewarding. You can almost always find that single earring, broken chain, high school ring, out of fashion item that you'll never wear again, or your children wouldn't consider ! I have passed over things that I thought were of no value, to find out later that they were indeed a precious metal, and was worth much more than I had anticipated. Outside of just plain panning for gold (which can be lucretive also), another great idea is to purchase a jewelers loop to keep on hand, you can find the style that hooks onto your key ring,so you will be able to spot certain markings on jewelry and silver items. Make it routine to stop at yard  and  Estate sales, flea markets and the like.. it's just like a box of choclates.. you never know what you might find! When it comes to coins, there are a lot of variables involved, but guess what; there's an app for that! Now moving on, I suppose you would like to know what to look for on gold and silver, so take note. When you are looking at jewelry, you want to make sure it is marked 10k, 14k, 18k (k stands for karat). Stay away from items marked GF , or HGE , which means gold filled or heavy gold electroplated. If you are looking at silver items, look for the numbers 925, .999, or sterling. If you run across sterling teasets, candelabras etc. , keep in mind that some things could be weighted with anything from cement to other metals; mostly taller items , to keep them from tipping over, so that WILL effect how much you could get paid for the item if you wanted to sell it.Well that is your crash- course in finding precious metals 101 for those of you that might be interested in turning fun into profit! Just remember that these are just beginer's basic tips and information and if you have items that are in question, bring them by and we will test them for you and let you know their value, of course there is no obligation for you to sell, ever. So, happy hunting everyone and tune in next time for more behind the scenes at The Gold Academy! If you have questions about gold, silver and coins, just post them on the blog and we will give you an answer that everyone can benefit from. Thanks for visiting our blog and have a blessed and profitable day!  Bob, Debbie and our resident rescue cat                                      "Precious Metals".

Kitty "Precious Metals" scares away "Bearanoia" a Black Bear at The Gold Academy

We are proud to announce that there is no lack of security at THE GOLD ACADEMY, due to the fierce protection of our in-house, feline crimestopper, "Precious Metals". Terroristic termoil was diverted last week, by our new rescue kitty, when he leaped into action and scared away a 200 pound black bear, that ventured up onto our porch!  Upon coming face-to-face with "Precious Metals", the bear was so surprised by the growling, hissing and spitting that in just a few seconds he ran back to where he came from..... and we saw it all on our security cameras! In between our gold testing classes and daily purchasing of gold, silver, platinum, and coins, we no longer worry about a breach in security, as "Precious Metals" has developed a new profession at The Gold Academy .... and now has an additional stream of revenue, (into his food bowl that is!).  We see salmon in his future! Some days are diamonds, some days are gold, some days are just fun! Drop by if you are in the area.... you never know what might be going on at The Gold Academy!

Learn to Buy Gold in a Private Session at The Gold Academy

On Friday, August 3rd, a private session at The Gold Academy , was in full swing.  Bob Levy, owner and trainer makes the process a very interesting endeavor, indeed. Never a dull moment!

 The father and son team, who took the class a few weeks ago enjoyed their experience so much that they requested a private session for their wife/mother and reviewed the class along with her.  Bob makes the class so comfortable and interesting, that the three couldn't wait to get in their seats.  Laughter filled the room as they practiced their hands-on training, learning to buy precious metals and making plans for their new business!

After class, we all enjoyed a great dinner at Brother's at Willow Ranch , restaurant. We just can't say enough about the food, service and atmosphere! (We just want to kiss the chef!)

Thanks for visiting our blog.....we hope you will join and comment.....give us your feedback and tell us what you want to hear/learn about and we'll be happy to write about it!

Welcome to a Day in the Life of The Gold Academy!

Welcome to our Blog # 1 from The Gold Academy !

Today August 1st, 2012 we met with other business owners from several surrounding counties, invited to the Customer Appreciation Luncheon at Brothers Restaurant in Young Harris, hosted by WJUL 97.5 Radio owner, Jeff Batten and General Manager and radio personality, Tim Rose. 

By the way, if you haven't yet heard the radio show "Good Morning Lake Chatuge" hosted by "The Voice of Lake Chatuge", Tim Rose, you are really missing out, if you want to be the first to know about all the wonderful events happening in our four county mountain area - Towns, Union, Habersham  (in GA) and Clay County  (in NC).  Just tune into Tim's show Mon - Thurs, live 8-9:00am, and you will be hooked.....if you are not already!

Maybe we've been living in the dark ages, but we WJUL 97.5 addicts were recently delighted to discover that we can listen to the show, no matter where we are, by streaming in on the app, Tunein Radio, from our computer, or smart phone!

Anyway, at  the luncheon today.... The Gold Academy  had a great opportunity to share information with other entrepreneurs about our precious-metals school, which recently relocated here in the beautiful, North Georgia mountain area.  We explained how The Gold Academy is helping other business owners to create an additional revenue stream by learning to buy gold silver and platinum.  Students not only learn how to test and assess the value of gold and other precious metals, but also how to make a business of hosting fundraisers and Gold Parties to help others raise money for charities, mission trips, booster clubs and non-profit organizations, etc.

Be sure to watch for tomorrow's blog and we'll tell you all about our lastest class adventure.
