Jewelry has always been a mainstay for pawnshops, but cash for gold appears to be the most common item coming into pawn stores lately. Gold is seen as a safe haven for investors during tough economic times, and this recession has been no exception. The cash for gold has been hovering at about $900 per ounce.

That means pawnshop display cases are stuffed with gold necklaces, bracelets, and even Rolex watches, according to Joe Cacciatore, owner of Tampa, Fla.-based Capital Pawn & Financial Services. He has even had football players bring in Super Bowl rings and NFL rings for pawn. (He wouldn't tell us their names.)
