Intriguing idea to focus on metal rather then land, when land prices are high. As with anything in life there is risk involved and one issue I see is the issue of fluctuation. How would a deep fall in the price of precious metals affect other issues around financial independence? Also would a seller want to be paid in precious metal over paper money?

"The Creature from Jekyll Island" by G.E. Griffin makes for interesting reading.

We think it is a safer store of value than a savings account at the bank.
It took us a while to figure out how we wanted to buy the metal.
I didn't want to do it long distance and I wanted the metal in my hand.
DOH we finally hit on a small pawn shop in our area that specializes
in buying/selling metal and has for decades. It is fun to make a trip
every 4-6 weeks and figure out what we can get for the dollars we
put back.
