Scrap Calculators is a utility web app built around a single question most people don't know how to answer: what is my old jewelry actually worth? With gold surpassing $5,000/oz in 2026, a lot of what's sitting in drawers has become quietly valuable. The site pulls live spot prices for gold, silver, and platinum, displays them on a real-time dashboard with sparkline charts, and lets users instantly calculate melt value by metal, weight, unit, and purity. It also features a curated resource sidebar and nine in-depth educational articles covering hallmark reading, dealer payouts, spotting fake silver, and platinum pricing.
