Benzinga has posted a helpful guide on investing in either.

The earth yields many precious metals, but gold and silver are the two most famous ones. Each metal has different properties and uses, but they have a few things in common. Both have a finite supply, making them a hedge against inflation. Investors have sought refuge by buying gold and silver during recessions and volatile economic times.
