>wanted to know if it is worth getting a safe
yes
>which would you recommend?
a fireproof one, bolted to a wall and hidden away

>>18287739
I don’t think I would cuz that’s an easy target. You can easily hide gold somewhere where nobody would ever look. I’m thinking of burying my 100 ouncer of silver away from my other silver

>>>/k/ would likely provide you better answers

>>18287739
Safes are a meme. No safe is really safe. The safes are there to delay the robber, not to stop him from taking your stuff.

The safest way is to store your stack somewhere no one would bother to look. Like in the trash bin.

>>18288027
Or a shoebox?

My biggest concern wouldn’t be people robbing the gold, it would be trying to protect it from a fire. You don’t want your gold melting. Get a fireproof safe that’s too heavy for someone to easily carry away

>>18288043
Sure. If you have 20 shoeboxes and one contains your stack, no will will bother to go through all of them.

>>18287739
>He thinks gold will be of more value than bullets if anarchy occurs
You gonna stroke jamal after you give him your gold?

>>18287739
I wouldnt bother just Hide it in unusual places. Bury it somewhere. having a dummy safe is a good idea though. Put only put a small amount of your holdings there

>>18287739
Yeah, I think safes are great. It depends if you want to have a safe that you can conceal or not. If you only have gold/silver - a small one will be fine. At least you can more it around for the most part which gives you flexibility. I have a very large safe, but that only because I have 20+ firearms on top of my metals and other shit. But if you only have $2500, it seems you only bought this as a hedge and don't carry gold/silver year round, or 'stack' it as some people say. If you plan on only having your metals for a limited time, just don't tell anyone and put it in a box and hide it. If you will continue to stack metals, buy a safe.

>>18290190
great country btw !!

The only reason to have a safe is for misdirection.Make them think they got something valuable and fast, instead of turning the house inside out and finding the real goodies.

>>18287739
>needing a safe for a tiny amount of metal that does not rust or degrade in any way

Great, now your mother can just throw it away!

This is the one i use. It's good enough and works good.

>>18287739
lol i can open any safe you can buy within 3 hours.

>>18288043
Just drive to the nearest desolate forest and make a hole next to a tree. Probably much safer than any safe.

/k/ here. I keep a about 30k in guns in one, so here is the basic advice.

>A safe only buys you time
Anyone will break in given enough time. You should also have a security system with UPS and cellular backup. You need to know when someone is in your home

>A safe should be fireproof
Won't stop everything but again it buys time for the FD to get there

>A safe must be bolted to the floor
If you don't do this you're a fucking idiot and you deserve to have your safe carted away.
>but I live in an apartment
You're poor. Focus on buying a house then you can keep stuff worth keeping in a safe.

>>18288027
>Like in the trash bin.
And what happens with someone takes out the trash?
Ya dick!

Good advice ITT. I have a cheap 'fireproof' Sentry safe that looks solid, but I watched someone on youtube use a rotary saw with a wood blade cut it in half in under a minute. Looks like approx. 20gauge steel with fire retardant foam layered between a plastic liner where you put your stuff.
Mainly it gives me one central place to keep my valuables together, and will keep honest people honest.
My lawyer had his gold stolen out of his closet by the construction workers next door. Think he had it in a box in his closet, FWIW.
I just moved, and I keep my pistols in a locked plastic portable toolbox for discretion. When they were done, I couldn't find it and freaked out. They'd left it holding the front gate open to the street, had no idea what was in it.
So what I'm saying is do your best and hope you get lucky if someone breaks in. A real safe with solid steel will cost thousands of dollars. Maybe try and buy a used one off craigslist, but good luck moving that thing.

>>18287739
Buy a gun safe with a high fire rating.
If you live in the US look up "Old Glory Safes", they are made here if that's important to you but they also have a very high fire rating.

>>18289003
the most sensible and clever idea in this retarded thread full of stupid trannies

>>18289003
This is actually pretty good advice for citycucks who don't have a garden to bury their treasure in.

>>18290134
Not that anon but lots of possible options
>store some in your ceiling. Works better w gold as you can store more value w less space/weight
>seal your metal then put it in a can of paint
>in your hamper under clothes or in pockets of clothes you dont plan to wear/wash
>in your vacuum cleaner. Open the bag if possible and put it there in a container
>in the glovebox/trunk of your car. Prob not the best or safest idea but at least no one can find this if they break into your house. Doubtful anyone breaks into your car trunk and finds it. For example in your golf bag or something.
>bury it in your garden or yard if you have one
>buy a plant or pot and fill it with soil/plants. Bury metal there
>have a small % out in the open so if someone does break in they might just grab that and run
>store a % with trusted family or close friend. Maybe have friend store some w you to spread risks ie if he is robbed some of his stuff is safe w you and vice versa
>store a % overseas in a vault
>store a % in a bank vault locally
>store a % in local storage place
>as others said, storing in food. For example buy ice cream, eat the ice cream, fill container w gold. Possibly leave some ice cream on top, or not. Seems low risk either way
>under your trash bag inside the trash can
>inside of shampoo or other similar container
Theres so many ways. Find what's best

>>18290145
>bait

>>18287739
>$2500 of gold and silver
Even if that's all silver, that's still an incredibly small amount by VOLUME. Tiny. And $2500 isn't much. Just hide the pm and use the money you would have spent on a safe to buy more.

>>18289003
I didn't think buying one was a good idea, that's why I asked. Thanks for the strange idea.

>>18290326
Oh fuck...

I wonder if you bolted a safe to the floor in a small closet if it would be almost impossible to get into unless the thief was an actual safe cracker who could figure out the combination.

>>18287739
Safes are for decoys. Load it with heavy worthless things and hide it somewhere. Meanwhile take your valuables and hide them inside soda cans, in plant dirt, open uo electronics and hide them there, insife doors, inside the walls of electrical sockets, and spread them out all over the house.

Funfact in Trudeau-Land a 50 cal black powder revolver older than 1900 is completely legal no PAL required.

>>18287739
>$2500
so 1 gold eagle and tube of silvers?
no one is going to steal that from you fucking poorfag
drop them behind your sofa like your other loose change

>>18288393
shotguns, pre WW firearms, bows are all legal in the UK
you can also just get any old spec deactivated gun and just repair it. the main issue is making ammo since no modern caliber is legal but pin fire and muzzle loaders are

>>18291109
craig?

>>18288140
I agree with this. I would love to tell you guys my hiding spot because it is so good, but obviously can't. Best advice is to get creative, have multiple caches, and have a few decoy items in the obvious places.

>>18287739

Check this thread on ar15 dot com. They talk about gun safes, but it applies to precious metals all the same. Bottom line is familiarize yourself with safe ratings, and mechanical locks are better than electronic.

>And what happens with someone takes out the trash?

Underneath the bag, you idiot. Also, inside the powder detergent. Inside the cereal box. Under the mattress. Inside the mattress. In the back of the closet.

If society is collapsing, expect the police to not be bothering with residential burglary alarms. They already don't give a fuck about them in big cities and are given the lowest priority in the calls for service. Make sure you monitor your own shit if need be and that you can get home quickly if needed. I have a gun safe, and I have a Burglar Bomb in my closet that's integrated with my alarm system. This motherfucker will fill my closet with a thick smog of OC spray if someone enters my closet wothout disarming the system. So any potential burglar will have to deal with the loud ass siren alerting my neighbors, and if they manage to get in the closet then it will immediately start filling with OC spray.

My gun collection is worth about $30k, and my night vision goggles are worth about another $5k. I keep it all in my safe, with a small coin collection of various silver, gold and old coins I value at about another $5k. I paid about $2k for the safe, an old, thick Browning.

>>18287739
get a bank vault retard.

>>18287739
You do not have enough gold & silver to merit purchasing a safe. Just hide it in your place somewhere it is safe from fire.

Good job, retard. Burying is only a half peg above a safe in terms of retardation.
