You'll need to be more specific for those of us who have never bought metals. Please, where and how?

The best possible and cheapest way is to search for "coin shop near me". You can get straight forward bullion like the American Silver Eagle or pre-1965 "junk silver" coinage which is 90% silver. I'm actually a big fan of junk silver not only as a collector, but because if a collapse does happen, it'll be much easier to make purchases with small denominations of silver.

What about jewelry? Does that fall under junk silver? Hope so cause I have a knack for that stuff. Found a cool chunky bracelet marked 925 for $4 a few years back, was pretty psyched about that one.

Nothing wrong with some nice thrift store finds like that. I enjoy that myself. That stuff can be melted down to silver bars or rounds as well. But that's not the best way to go right now.

You can buy online, but demand is way up. You might search your local area via Apple/Google Maps for gold and silver dealers, or coin shops. Call and see if they have Silver Eagles, 1 oz bars, or any other bulk silver in stock. Coins may cost more than market silver value per ounce because they are collectable for other reasons. You don't need anything special.

How do we check what the current market value is so we’re informed when we get shopping? Cause I’m real good at that second part, the shopping.

You can search for "silver price per ounce." You'll pay a bit more than that for physical, which is normal.
