The gold and silver threads have discussed (I have in detail) the ways to buy precious metals. Go to post #205 in this thread and PM me if you want to ask me any other questions, it'd be no bother at all. http://www.boards.ie/vbulletin/showthread.php?t=2056642498&page=6

You should look into opening an account with Goldmoney.com where you can buy gold/silver and you then have the ability to store precious metals in storage locations like Canada, Hong Kong, Singapore, Switzerland and the UK.
