r/metals is a subreddit with 940 members. The most common kinds of discussions are news and advice requests, and the community frequently discusses gold, review, metal, investment, and metals.
/r/metals to talk about anything metal. Prices, collecting, investing in, predictions or even show off your own stash! It is pretty open ended as long as it has to do with metal. I am currently looking for moderators and ways to grow this subreddit. Message I_hate_alot_a_lot if you're interested.
