Gold rush 2.0: Americans cash in as precious metal hovers near all-time high

We’re in the middle of the Gold Rush 2.0. But this time folks aren’t making money finding gold – they’re making money selling it.

With gold near an all-time high, selling for over $3,200 an ounce, folks are raiding their jewelry boxes and heading to pawn shops, jewelers and smelters to turn their little-worn necklaces, watches, bracelets and earrings into cold hard cash.

"Every day we have more customers just coming in, selling their gold, raiding their cabinets and stuff like that, looking for jewelry,"  said Sabashden M.
