you can take your "old gold" to Denpasar, Jalan Hassanudin, and sell it there by weight.
Every shop has women sitting outside, and these ladies are geared up to purchase gold.
They have equipment to determine the carat of what is being offered (not much impressed with 9 carat stuff, as they normally have much higher purity), and you can try a couple to get a fair price....don't be afraid to ask for a little more than the first offer (your chance to be the seller for a change).
You can then take the cash obtained and buy your silver.
