I too agree with Ankur bcoz gold/silver from ancestors is treated as jewellery which is a capital asset and gain from sale of such asset is taxable. If such jewellery is held for >36 months, it is a long term capital asset, in which case u can claim exemption u/s 54F (flat) or 54EC (bonds) subject to certain conditions.
Amount of exemption u/s 54F: investment in new asset/net sale consideration x capital gain
Amount of exemption u/s 54EC: Investment in the new asset or CG, whichever is lower.
