You Know It's a Gold Rally When....
People sell their fillings.
Down the street at First National Pawn, customers have walked in carrying jewelry, coins and other items scrounged up to take advantage of the bullish prices, said manager Ryan Johnson.
"People have been digging around," he said.
Some have even rummaged up their old teeth with gold fillings. Johnson said they often drop the teeth into soda pop to separate out the gold fillings. That gold can then be smelted and used later for jewelry or other products.
Gold business picked up at the pawnshop about three weeks ago and has been brisk as the price continued climbing.
"It's skyrocketing, but we expect it to go higher," Johnson said.
