Silver vs. Gold Allocation - Leaning Gold, but is that smart?

• •I’m thinking 80/20 gold to silver, maybe even 85/15.
• •My family’s background is timber, so we’ve always been about hard assets and generational wealth preservation.
• •Gold just *feels* right for that, you know?

Been wrestling with my metals allocation a bit lately and wanted to get some other perspectives, especially from folks who’ve been in the game longer than me. Currently, the bulk of my metals (which is a good chunk of my overall portfolio, north of 30%, probably closer to 40% if I’m honest, out of a ~400k total) is in physical gold through a Gold IRA. I’m thinking 80/20 gold to silver, maybe even 85/15.

My family’s background is timber, so we’ve always been about hard assets and generational wealth preservation. Gold just feels right for that, you know? It's the ultimate safe haven, historically. I live out here in Spokane, and the local sentiment around tangible assets is strong. My advisors have been pretty good about letting me drive my own boat on this, but I can tell they’d prefer fewer precious metals overall. My great-grandfather would roll over in his grave if I didn't hold a decent amount of gold.

The argument for silver being "undervalued" and having more upside due to industrial demand is compelling, though. I understand the argument, and it makes sense. However, I also see it as having higher volatility – something I’m trying to minimize given my long-term, preserve-and-grow strategy. I'm not looking for rockets, just steady, reliable value that I can pass down. Am I being too conservative here? Should I rebalance to say, 70/30 gold/silver, or even 60/40?

Anyone else in a similar boat, especially those focused on generational wealth? What’s your current split, and what’s driving it? Are there any specific factors I should be considering that I might be overlooking given my particular situation up here in the PNW?
