What may initially seem to be old junk could actually be more valuable than you think to the right person!&nbsp; You may even be sitting on a small fortune without even knowing it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Remember, it\u2019s not always obvious that an item may contain gold. Old, broken pieces of jewellery and watches are the more obvious finds.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Even metal dental fillings and fake teeth can be traded in for some extra cash (we do not recommend attempting any DIY dental extractions at home, however!).&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">If you are hesitant about a certain item or would like further guidance on identifying valuable scrap gold, it is always worth getting in touch with one of the Cash For Your Gold experts before sending it off to landfill, as you never know how valuable it could be.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>The effect of COVID-19 on the gold market<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Gold prices are currently at a six-year high. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.forbes.com\/sites\/simonconstable\/2020\/04\/08\/covid-19-panic-sparks-record-breaking-gold-buying-binge-during-first-quarter\/\">Forbes<\/a> has reported that there has been a record-breaking surge in demand for gold during the COVID-19 pandemic. During the first quarter of 2020, investors are reported to have acquired $23 billion of exchange-traded funds that hold the metal. There are even predictions that the value of gold could go even higher, as historically, during times of crisis, people turn to gold as a safe hedge.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Even as the lockdown measures relax across different areas of the UK, there is still time to sort through your household belongings. Not only will you benefit from decluttering your home, your scrap gold could potentially be worth a higher value than usual, all without you having to do any additional work.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Selling with Cash For Your Gold<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">This begs the question, \u201cwhat do I do with all of these items?\u201d.
