As financial trouble continues on Wall Street, more and more people are looking to invest or sell gold.

Bernadette Faulkner is selling her gold to make a little extra cash.

"I've got some that I wear, but I quit wearing jewelry period," said Faulkner

She brought in three zip lock baggies full of jewelry to Allison Love's Fine Jewelry in Rock Hill Tuesday.

"It's a bunch of junk isn't it?" said Faulkner "But I'm sure it's worth something probably worth more now than when I started collecting ten years ago."

Allison Love says now is a perfect time to sell your gold.

"Gold is at an all time high its $1,729 dollars an ounce it's the highest it's ever been," said Love. "It's a great time to bring it in to see what you can get for it."

Love says not everything in your jewelry box that looks gold is gold.  The best thing to do is to bring it to a reputable jeweler to test it for you.

CHARLOTTE, N.C. (WBTV) - Let's be honest: most of us have probably done it before. Texting while we drive. We know it's dangerous, but we do it anyway. Especially if we can do without even looking at our phone.

But it's that line of thinking that has Trooper Ben Miller with the North Carolina Highway Patrol worried that drivers don't really understand just how dangerous it is.

 "It's just as dangerous as drunk driving and speeding," he pointed out. "You're still taking your focus off the road where it should be."

WBTV rode along with Trooper Miller Monday night -- on the lookout for drivers texting and driving.

While we saw plenty of folks talking on their phones, very few were texting while driving.

Until we rode past Lucy Muhira who looked like she was texting and driving. Turns out Lucy was just checking her GPS -- not technically texting -- but the recent college grad admits she's done it before.
