Find an area that has been proven to produce gold. Mountainous areas that have strong granite or crystalline deposits are a good start. Areas where geologic upheaval and pressure have occurred is another prime location.
Mine the rock from the area. Start with a good amount of rock samples to look for gold ore. Rocks the size of a human hand are best to sample. Look closely for quartz or crystal deposits, since this is where super-heated steam may have driven gold into "veins" of gold ore.
Test the waters of any nearby streams or rivers. Gold ore can be washed many miles from its source and lodge under river rocks and obstructions. Take a sluice pan and sample the sand and silt from the riverbed near boulders and river bends
Search through the discarded heaps of waste materials from old gold ore mines. Many old abandoned gold mines that flourished during the "gold rush" era have waste deposits that may contain viable amounts of overlooked gold ore

How magnet detect real gold?
Gold is non-ferrous and therefore is not attracted by a magnet. There are other metal that are attracted by a magnet but gold is not one of them. You can tell what is a ferrous metal and what is a non ferrous one but you cannot identify gold.

"White gold" and "red gold" are examples of specific gold alloys.
Gold jewelry is a pure compound or a mixture?

Why are metals added to gold?
Metals are added to gold to create alloys that improve the hardness, durability, and color of the gold. Pure gold is soft and can be easily scratched or bent, so adding metals like copper or silver creates a stronger alloy suitable for making jewelry and other items. Additionally, mixing metals can alter the color of the gold, creating white gold, rose gold, or other colors.
