Hunting for gold and silver



Have you ever watched the Antiques Roadshow and seen someone bring in an item they inherited and knew nothing about, only to discover it’s worth a fortune?

Moments like this are the best part of my job.

I love going through an old shoe box or cookie jar and finding rare or gold coins worth heaps. Or telling someone their broken bits and pieces of gold jewellery is worth a thousand dollars, more than they paid for it.

My name is Bryan Hunsberger and I’ve been obsessed with collecting, buying and selling coins, watches, banknotes and jewellery for over a decade.

I’m on the hunt for anything gold and silver, old coins and banknotes, and automatic watches. My favourite watches are Rolex, Tudor and Omega.

So, if you have a shoe box of old coins, a drawer full of single earrings and broken necklaces, or a box full of coin sets from the Perth Mint you’ve inherited, give me a call and I’d love to give you a cash price offer on your items.

I’m fully licensed, and since I don’t have a shop front, I have little overheads and am able to pay higher prices for your items.

Give me a ring on 0401 379 401 to set up a time to meet up or if you have any questions about your items.

I travel from Beerwah up to Cooroy and everywhere in between, happy to come to you or meet somewhere convenient.
